   Jason Arvak See, jay, I can respect that way of saying it. It is when some atheists -- including several examples above -- go way overboard in expanding their expression of non-belief to include sweeping condemnations of and indictments against religious believers that I think the pejorative "militant" properly applies. Personally, I think atheists can be logical, rational, ethical people. I think their biggest problem comes from the fact that, like fundamentalist Christians on the other side, they too often allow their most militant and abusive elements to control the conversation.
