I like that pseudo slur "militant". Yea, like Galileo was "militant" when he told the truth about the heliocentric nature of our solar system and got put under house arrest for it.
I don't blow things up or threaten people because they say things I don't like. Merely saying "that is not true", or "that makes no sense" or even "bullshit" doesn't make one militant.
You call atheist "ignorant" because we don't blindly swallow your pet god claim. You call us "militant" because you don't like feeling uncomfortable about your own claims. That is your baggage, not ours.
Saying the earth is not flat, does not make one militant.
This is NOT a human rights issue here. You can claim whatever you want, but that does not make it credible merely because you like it. Otherwise every human could claim whatever they want and it would have to be true just because they can string a sentence together.
If our species never questioned social norms our species never would have left the caves.
