Militant Atheism = Unspeak?

I wondered if anyone had the chance to read Unspeak by Steven Poole.

Unspeak is Poole’s term for a phrase or word that contains a whole unspoken political argument. Examples include:

Pro life, Pro Choice, Community

Click for here for the introductory chapter which explains the concept in greater detail.

What I am wondering is if we could classify Militant Atheism/Atheist as Unspeak.

It seems to me as if we are almost witnessing a language war where the impact and stigma of Atheism is retreating, meanwhile the Christians, the faithful are attempting to fire another salvo by binding in popular languge, the negative conotations of “Militant ” with Atheism
