I've never done that and don't even believe that's what would happen to a non-believer who lived a good life. But I've certainly been repeatedly told by militant atheist that I can't possibly, as an intelligent person, believe in God.[/quote]

So that proves there are some "militant atheists" and some militant/evangelical/proselytizing Christians who should only talk to people that agree with them, and some people on both sides who are less unpleasant when engaging "across the aisle" as it were. [b] I don't think either side has a monopoly on either of those attitudes[/b].[/quote]

Definitely. I have yet to meet a militant agnostic, though.[/quote]

what's "militant?"  Were they carrying guns?  Marching?  Wearing uniforms? giving orders?

Perhaps "militant," in regards to atheism, means someone who feels strongly enough to talk about their lack of beliefs openly and in a way that challenges people with  different points of view.  If so, assuming agnostics don't feel so strongly, they would not come across as militantly as some atheists.

The same would hold for religious people -- some of whom feel very strongly that they must proselytize to save people from hell vs others who prefer not to proselytize and may not even believe in hell.[/quote]
