So, Christian Fascism has it's political organizations like the Christian Coalition and the Moral Majority. It has it's propaganda organizations like the Christian Broadcasting Network and the Trinity Broadcasting Network. And then it has it's shock troops like BattleCry and the YoungLife. Where are the atheist shock troops? Where are the atheist youth in the streets proclaiming the inherent injustices of a theocratic society? Where are the para-atheistic organizations that pose as youth movements only to present the truth of atheism? We need more of those organizations.

I prefer heavy artillery and carpet bombing and a glorious hailstorm of missiles to shock troops. More punch for the buck.

Have you ever tried to organise atheists? I have and trust me, it's not something they do at all easily!

We are too different. It is indeed not easy to organise people based on their lack of belief in gods. You still need a cause and that's where disagreements begin. You see, WE don't have a book to tell us what is to be and what is not to be so we have to think for ourselves. 
If you try to build up an empire of atheists based on their atheism, all you'll get is a shaky confederation.

Counterculture organizations like BattleCry are always destined to fail. In the end, the liberals are always right. It's just a matter of time.
Our shocktroops? The inevitable movement left. More and more christian organizations are allowing female pastors, homosexuals, abortions, etc. Atheist tolerance will happen eventually.
