In general I don't think I agree with Dawkins' militant stance. If it is true that the human mind is easy prey to persuasive power of any cause (ex. religion, nationalism), than militant atheism can also be one of these powerful causes. People might end up doing "whatever it takes" to educate the "idiot masses". I think the emphasis should be on education and critical thinking more than religion. Educating the next generations to be protected against the power of a cause. - Pedro Beltrao
