I'm always amused by evangelistic atheism.



When I see people doing something harmful to themselves and others, because of religion, I'm tempted to preach the message of Void.


"Militant" or "fundamentalist" atheism are pejorative and wildly inaccurate, but I definitely think "evangelistic" atheism aptly fits the "New Atheist" movement. The precise term is probably "anti-religion", though.

Most of the irreligious in these nine nations are probably more apathetic or agnostic than actually atheist, much less evangelistic atheist.


I'm curious, why is that?
