The term "league of militant atheists" can be seen as highly charged and divisive. As such, there have been attempts to find alternative ways to describe groups that promote atheism and criticize religion. One term that has gained popularity is "new atheists," referring to authors like Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris, and Christopher Hitchens, who have promoted atheism in their writing. Another term is "anti-theists," indicating a stronger stance against religion and religious institutions. A more neutral term is "atheist activists," which emphasizes their activism and advocacy for atheist rights rather than their opposition to religion. Ultimately, the label chosen for these groups depends on the intended audience and the desired tone of the conversation.
