-What- harm.....precisely? Friction, tension, hurt feelings? 
Howsabout this for harm- Those who wish for the apocalypse have it in their power to manifest it, should they ever tire of waiting for their fairies to do so.
You did pin me pretty well with one thing though, I do make divisions between myself and others. Namely, morons. If it were up to me I'd load em in a spaceship that looked suspiciously like a DC8 and fly them into volcanos on a distant planet.........
So you believe in a god, good for you (not a moron). So you believe that the earth was flooded by a vengeful god in the last few thousand years -or ever- and that because this happened we ought to arrange our society thus and thus (moron). I'm really not sure what you think militant atheists are militant about. I'm militant not about -what they believe- but how those beliefs -motivate them to action, and the contents of those actions-.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
