Militant Atheism
| “ | It is our duty to destroy every religious world-concept … If the destruction of ten million human beings, as happened in the last war, should be necessary for the triumph of one definite class, then that must be done and it will be done. | „ |
| ~ Yemelyan Yaroslavsky, Second Congress of Atheists in 1929 |
Militant Atheism is the belief that all religion is either inherently evil, corrupt or outdated - it is also the opposite of religious extremism and can manifest in similar ways: such as oppression and terror towards those of religious faith. Though many militant atheists vehemently believe that their beliefs "liberate people from religious brainwashing", they ironically act the same as religious extremists as they humilitate and force religious people to convert to atheism.
