I&#039;m not even sure what &quot;aggressive atheism&quot; is supposed to mean.  Can you aggressively not believe in something?

I understand the definition -- an aggressive atheist actively attacks theist positions.  But it is meant to be an intellectual or philosophical position, based on soundly structured arguments.  It is not supposed to be about billboard campaigns and sound bites.

That poster campaign, however, is completely moronic.  Moronic atheism, I like to call it.  Or:  &lt;i&gt;requesting a backlash against atheists, out of the mistaken belief that acting like elitist prats will convince others that we&#039;re right.&lt;/i&gt;

In any case, I could rant on unproductively.  But I won&#039;t.  Because it would be unproductive.</description>
