I love how as soon as atheists begin to write books and verbally oppose religious idea they are immediately labeled as "militant". I've never been very fond of political correctness, which is meant to tip-toe around and avoid causing offense, I am however concerned with actual correctness, and unless an atheist is militarily restricting the theistic beliefs of others, it would be incorrect to call him "militant".
I think this discrepancy needs to be pointed out more often, and I find the best way to do this is to ask someone to consider the phrase "militant Islam".
