As this is a science forum, i can only ask, if you agree with this documentary or not.
How exactly? Does taking a line of thought to its logical conclusion make you militant? Or does writing a book about it make you militant? Where exactly is the militantism?J77 said:Militant atheists like Dawkins are as bad as fundamentalists, imo.
A militant atheist is someone who actively promotes and defends atheism and often engages in confrontational or aggressive behavior towards religious beliefs and practices.
Richard Dawkins is a British evolutionary biologist, author, and outspoken atheist. He is considered a militant atheist because of his strong criticism of religion and his advocacy for scientific rationality and atheism.
Militant atheists like Dawkins generally view religion as a harmful and irrational belief system that should be challenged and ultimately discarded. They often see it as a hindrance to progress and a source of conflict and oppression.
No, not all atheists are considered militant. While some may be vocal about their lack of belief, they may not actively promote or defend atheism and may not engage in confrontational behavior towards religion.
Responses from religious individuals to militant atheists like Dawkins vary. Some may engage in debate and dialogue, while others may feel offended or attacked. Some may also dismiss their ideas and arguments as atheistic propaganda.
