User:Traveler/Militant atheism
Militant atheism (Russian: воинствующий атеизм) is a term applied to atheism which is hostile towards religion.[1] Militant atheists have a desire to propagate the doctrine,[2] and differ from moderate atheists because they hold religion to be harmful.[3]
Militant atheism was an integral part of the materialism of Marxism-Leninism,[4] and significant in the French Revolution,[5] atheist states such as the Soviet Union,[6] and Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution.[7] The term has also been applied to antireligious political thinkers.[8]
Recently the term militant atheist has been used to describe adherents of the New Atheism movement,[9] which is characterized by the belief that religion "should not simply be tolerated but should be countered, criticized and exposed."[10]
