    It’s not called militant atheism, you’re describing anti-theism. I’ve never heard of atheism claiming definitively that there are no deities or higher powers either, just that since there’s no evidence the claims aren’t worth consideration and can be dismissed as nonsense.

      I believe what you are describing is Agnosticism, which questions the existence of God but doesn’t claim there isn’t one either.

      Atheism afaik does claim that something like a God can’t/doesn’t exist (or Anti-theism).
