Stalin or Lenin?
To me a militant atheist would be a atheist that acts as radical as a fundamentalist and as hate filled. By what little I have seen there aren't many.
Go to Alt.atheism and you will see many. When you can't even talk science or History without theism being brought into it, there is a problem. Maybe it is because of baggage caused by theist in the past. Think I read the article in Friendly Atheist blog. Article there calls Richard Dawkins one. Many articles on with the term. Sorry could not really help still learning and I can only look at this screen so long before it start to blur.
Ya I have looked into it but I don't think militant atheist is right because the four horseman are classified as "New Atheists", It just seems to be a classification of anybody who speaks out publicly about atheism. The point I was making though, is that there are no branches of atheism, there is only not believing in god that is all atheism is.
