"The lesson here is clear. If you're an atheist, shut up about it. If you are open or vocal about your atheist worldview, you are a "militant atheist." Be silent, even though that same standard does not apply to those who passionately disagree with you."
Being a deistic agnostic bordering on atheism I have seen this time and again. The looks I get, or the reaction(s) to my unbelief so fall in line with what this article is saying. I live in a very small rural town and the reactions are usually all the same.
The Myth of Militant Atheism | Psychology Today
Welcome to H&C,,, where I aggregate news of interest. Primary topics include abuse with "the church", LGBTQI+ issues, cults - including anti-vaxxers, and the Dominionist and Theocratic movements. Also of concern is the anti-science movement with interest in those that promote garbage like homeopathy, chiropractic and the like. I am an atheist and anti-theist who believes religious mythos must be die and a strong supporter of SOCAS.
