I can't speak for Hitchens, but I have trouble thinking of an individual who is less of a militant than Richard Dawkins. I have read several of his books and he has never once suggested that violence should be used to stop people from being religious.

Being "militant" about something does not mean that you are advocating violence. It just means that the person has an aggressive and combatitive nature when it comes to arguing particular issues. I'd say that describes Dawkins pretty well.
