Militant atheists are the only group other than the Dominionists who scare me because they are so intolerant of others' spiritual beliefs. They insult people who believe differently than they do.

Because I know that when I hear crazies talking about replacing the American Constitution with the Bible civil code, the next place my mind jumps is in fact, "Oh, no, gasp! What if they insult my beliefs?"

Now, granted, I'm an atheist so I'm automatically "intolerant of others' spiritual beliefs," since roseross said so; "smug and convinced I've gotten it all figured out," since some of the agnostics I meet online say so; a "fundamentalist atheist," according to any number of Christians who've read Dawkins, although I haven't yet figured out what beliefs I'm supposed to be fundamentalist about; someone who worships Darwin, according to the Christians in my neighborhood; and someone who "tried to oppress Christian beliefs," according to one of my students, since he insisted on knowing my religion when I told him the Bible was not an academic source for his rants against homosexuality and I told him I was the dreaded a-word. So I'd better get back to being all those things instead of worrying about Dominionists.
