In my country the word militant isn't even used in a pejorative or negative sense (sometimes) - When you are in a political party, you say I'm a member of X party, it mostly means that you are activist for a specific idea. I agree with everything else
I specially agree with the part of hating the idea but not the person. It's ok to insult and ridicule something as much as you please, as long as you don't incite hate towards the person (that's harmful). If the receiver feels offended he/she can counter-argue. If someone offends my atheist position I will not engage in violence, I will counter-argue and prove atheism is not what the other party says it is

Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you
