   That would be 'anger'.  Little wound up while typing, maybe?   
      
   And yeah, it's relevant.  You rationalise your anger and your hatred based   
   on your conviction that you're righteous and just - which is exactly how   
   religious fanatics justify theirs.  The problem is the same: it's just the   
   excuse that's different.  Slander's evil when theists do it; it's an   
   acceptable means to an end when atheists do it.  Imposition is evil when   
   it's "you must believe": but when it's "you must not believe", that's just   
   peachy.   
      
   A militant is still a militant, whether religious or not.
