Attack of the Theocrats!

The keyword being 'or' in that definition, but let's play with definitions.
aggressive:- having or showing determination and energetic pursuit of your ends
combative:- inclined or showing an inclination to dispute or disagree
extreme:- reaching a high or the highest degree; very great
violent:- having or showing great emotional force
confrontational:- discord or a clash of opinions and ideas
There is nothing wrong with being militant. If the dickheads hijack it as a pejorative for Atheists that speak up for themselves, so what, let's not all play into their hands, eh?
