There's a hell of a lot prejudice against atheists and their morality, and i feel the best way to deliver the message is to calmly and gradually debunk claims, in a most moderated and rigorous way possible, for example i can say that Dawkins some years ago looked a lot more "revolted"/rebellious, which in some sense i feel was less productive in sensibilization about his message, than the moderate approach he seems to be taking now.
I feel that open debates and f.a.q.s' like atheist experience weekly show, are certainly one of the best ways of spread atheistic points of view.
Yup I agree with this.
The best argument for atheism is education. Atheism doesn't need power of military strength unlike every religion that has ever come on this earth since it is simply supported by education. Atheism can easily convert most of the world by non-violent means. That's why "militant atheism" is just not necessary if it means violence. Strong atheist voices are needed though to keep going. However we need to maintain the high ground without resorting to violence for "militant atheism" to continue to mean a fight for education and skepticism.
