This article is full of weasel words, such as "militant atheism". If you have a problem with so-called "militant" atheists, why not account for "aggressive", "militant" Christians, all of which you will find spouting their apologetics in the US media, and on university campuses. Having the temerity to criticise religion/belief in theism does not mean "intolerance", especially when one considers that outspoken atheists such as Dawkins, Dennett etc. are peaceful in their approach. By calling outspoken atheism, "militant" you are calling the criticism of religion/theism a personality type, rather than a methodological approach. It also manufactures a false dichotomy between strong atheism, and violent religious extremists, who, in the media, are often, and rather dishonestly compared to those who subject religion to analysis.

: "Militant atheist" is not a weasel word as understood on Wikipedia. There are some other problems here, but [[WP:WEASEL]] is most certainly not the issue. Weasel words are statements such as "Many philosophers argue...", so I will remove this tag, you can add a more appropriate tag or point out specific problems where the text violates Wikipedia policy. --[[User:Merzul|Merzul]] 17:41, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
:: Ok, found one "Christian apologists argue", but that's already been tagged. --[[User:Merzul|Merzul]] 17:43, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
