There is definitely a group of atheists who seem to feel that every religious person should be "converted" to atheism by them personally applying their brand of logic. It's offensive, in a very similar way to people coming to the door and trying to convert you to their religion.

Can't you just call them loudmouth atheists? Militant is such a horribly misused word in this case.
By the way do you get offended when people with opposing political views passionately argue them with you?
