Quiet Atheist vs Militant Atheist

[robvalue]

I don't go around randomly hassling theists. I try to be nice to everybody. Religion is pretty dead in England so it doesn't come up much.

Yes I speak out where appropriate against the harm religion does, and the unfair special treatment it gets. It's been going on far too long. I don't want to try and stop religion, I want to stop it doing harm. If no one stands up to it, the hurt continues and society gets held back. Lots of people suffer including innocent children.

Speaking out against injustice is hardly the same as trying to force everyone to live by your rules, as is the case with religious extremism. I don't perform or advocate any sort of violence. I want to promote critical thinking and equality.
