Im a militant atheist

No such thing, just admit you're an anti-theist pls. You cant be militantly indifferent to something lol

You certainly can militantly oppose belief in the supernatural. Atheism doesn't mean indifference, it describes a lack of belief in any god. How strongly one feels about atheism isn't contained within the word atheism.

Anyway it's splitting hairs because anti-theism is good and correct

The prefix A is indifference and the prefix anti is opposition. And if yall cant even care to be literate enough to articulate the position you think you hold, maybe rethink what you think you know. Its like the difference between asocial and antisocial. It makes no sense to say you are militantly asocial. No sense. But what do i expect? Westerners can't read. Like western religions are pretty awful, but westerners act like they know everything while famously knowing nothing.

The term atheist has evolved beyond the roots of its components. It absolutely does not mean "indifferent to the idea of whether there is a god." Linguistic prescriptivism is reactionary and cringe.

In real life, the difference between atheist and antitheist is "I don't believe there is a god" and "I believe it's bad for you to believe there is a god" which, again, are both correct positions
