Militant Atheists

Why am I a "militant" atheist? This video is intended to be a more or less open ended letter on the term "Militant Atheist." Just a few thoughts on the matter. Transcript available at:

Great message, great video. Wish some atheists didn't take it as a pat on the back for their inactivity. At antitheists trying to get any member up off their arses has and is proving difficult.. Too many are indignant politely, complaining without action. I prefer, even if chaotic opposition. So love this video it has become a mandatory weekly play at facebook/antitheists and can we use please the transcript on our blog for those with low bandwith. Thank you peace and respect.

You're just a bit more active than I am in confronting religion, though I do make a point to argue and criticize harmful religious comments, contradictions, and absurdities in daily life whenever they present themselves. I liked your video though and you made good points. By the way, you're one of the hottest atheists I've seen. :-D

It's all lighting and ripped jeans, but thank you.

This is a fatal product of a theory that can`t be real... It is a miscarriage of the evolution. So atheist that is fighting against his mind. If God doesn`t exist to him. Why he talks about it... A real atheist will never get into religions, or any god. . He will be so intelligence that there is no time for invisible energy through his flesh & mind. ... But the evolution of all religions didn`t come from religions. it came from the same evolution, because there are no gods... correct.

I am a more active atheist now than I have been in years (for political reasons); however, at the same time, I am trying to leave behind the jail/jailor paradox of my Christian upbringing--an upbringing that as often led me to rail against Christians. I would eventually like to be indifferent toward the whole matter and argue from pure reason but I have a ways to go.

Militant atheists are as bad and idiots as fanatic religionists, If you want to convince somebody that his ideas are wrong don't make fun of his faith/opinion or w/e and don't use sarcasm, and it's like a pimple the more u do sarcasm the more they dug in into their shells. Quite predictable failure are militant atheists, since a well educated person Will/Shall Not be a militant of any type, atheist or not.

Very well said, more atheists need to recognize the importance of being public and exposing our real numbers. There'll be no opposition to the rising theocratic desires of the zealots if we don't know our real numbers, or more importantly, if those in government don't know our real numbers.

To answer your question sir, because if these people are foolish enough to dedicate their lives to serving their imaginary friend: They will not be able to comprehend anything you say in contrast to their beliefs. They will not care what you say. They will not stop their violent behaviors. Your anger with them is ignorance in itself. They can not help being stupid any more than you can not help being smart. You are thinking too far into it. Be happy you understand. Hope in time we all will.

@sugreev2001 They always do! You win a point and they revert to "oh well erm yes well in the bible..." or "well I BELIEVE in it and that is what my faith tells me" etc my personal favourite response from the religious is "I have read all about the science and consulted different stories but I STILL BELIEVE" to which I say well either you didn't read it properly or it speaks volumes of your intellect. You can't read the science and understand it RE evolution and then deny it is real.

[sylverwytche]

@joancostello Atheists speak out when they see the horrors of this world as a direct result of religious actions....thus an intelligent person would not sit back and allow such idiocy to roam free unchallenged in society.

[sugreev2001]

I confront people on religion all the time,and dare I say it that I win most of the time.But their idiotic minds revert back to believing the same stupidity they denied when arguing with me.
