Atheist = non-believer.
Militant Atheist = non-believer who says it out loud.
At least that's the impression I get.
Dawkins, Hitchens, Harris.... these guys are doing nothing more than expressing their opinions. They don't shoot anybody, they don't tear down churches. They write books and speak in public.
They might be obnoxious and saying things people don't want to (and never used to have to) hear, but it's got nothing to do with being militant.
