Militant Atheists

"Militant atheist" seems to be a term used to describe any atheist who even merely speaks out about atheism and religion. This is tactic to associate atheists and agnostics with Stalin and Pol Pot, and evade the actual argument of God's existence.

Sorry for the earlier video, there were some rendering problems that I had to correct.

@TurboDally And one final thing. Having a different world view from yours doesn't make someone dishonest. What makes someone dishonest is going about slandering other individuals and making straw man fallacies, then to cut a run from the argument claiming that it wasn't worth his time despite that it was him making the poorly made points in the first place.

@Albert10110 So I suppose u say that it's alright for atheists to mention militant Christianity or Militant Islam while it is completely okay for them to completely ignore the crimes of atheist tyrants who killed more people in a year and nearly caused a nuclear war.

Makes perfect sense at ur level perhaps.

@Albert10110 Interesting, so what about the abortion clinic bombings or 9/11 u seem to be shoving in religion's face? Aren't they also irrelevant to God's existence? And if "militant atheism" is illegitimate, how do u explain the 100,000 priests, nuns and rabbis shot by Joseph Stalin when he took power, or the hundreds of Catholics killed and imprisoned by Mao Zhe Tung, and perhaps the tortured missionaries and buddhists under Pol Pot? How does that not prove Militant atheism?

@HunterGuilherme Yes you can. Having beliefs makes you prone to act according to them. Not having beliefs allows you to act according to morals you create for yourself. Remember that most religion, Christianity specifically. has softened over the years. Due to the secular world's influence, most sects of Christianity have ignored more and more of the bible, considering the bad ideas to be metaphor. Atheists have no such doctrine, leaving them to make their own morals.

@skywize

Don't get me wrong, I'm just saying that for whatever thing religious people did, non-religious did the same, also you can't blame a group so big for what some people did.

[skywize]

@HunterGuilherme Ok then, you are correct.

@skywize

Mao and Stalin promoved the persecution of christians, muslims and jews, so there's no difference.

@HunterGuilherme Bull. Mao and Stalin were killing for political power, not to change people's religions or wipe a religion out. The Crusades were about Christianity being the only faith on the planet, whether by submission or death to non believers. They killed in the name of god. Hitler too, killed in the name of god. The Witch Trials were about Christians killing Pagans... in the name of god. The difference is blatant.

@skywize

Politically militant? Like Hitler and whoever was in charge of the crusades?

I'm sorry, but you're just contradicting yourself.

[skywize]

@HunterGuilherme Atheism, though present in those cases, does not add to the argument. These people were politically militant, not Atheistically or Religiously. Both very powerful psychopaths were trying to raise or keep their power. It was politics. Unlike Hitler who mostly killed Jews, the Crusades which killed... every non Christian they could find... and the Witch Trials that went after Pagans. One religion after another.
