Line 1: − + − The atheist author Julian Baggini summarizes militant atheism thusly: − {{cquote|Although …[[atheism]] Is not necessarily hostile to religion, there are, of course some atheists who are hostile to religion, and not just fundamentalist religions….Atheism which is actively hostile to religion I would call militant. To be hostile in this sense requires more than just strong disagreement with religion—it requires something verging on hatred and is characterized by a desire to wipe out all forms of religious beliefs. Militant atheists tend to make one or both of two claims that atheists do not. The first is that religion is demonstrably false or nonsense, and the second is that it is usually or always harmful.<ref>Baggini, Julian, Atheism a Very Short Introduction. (New York: Oxford University Press, 2003), 101.</ref>}} − − == See also == − − *[[Militant atheism]] − *[[Richard Dawkins]] − − == External links == − − *[http://www.apologeticspress.org/apPubPage.aspx?pub=1&issue=585 Militant atheism] − == Notes == − {{reflist|2}} − − [[Category:Atheism]]
