How can we "destroy bad ideas wherever we find them" by being "under the radar?" If the term atheism or secularism bothers you too much, work towards the emergence of a society that does not place a negative connotation with "atheism" nor feels the need to respect others religious beliefs while we live in a society that argues over everything from sports team franchises to political parties. Those opposed to organized religion or those who simply do not believe in the existence of a supernatural being must speak out to change society before those who have no qualms about speaking out (religious heads) change society farther towards religious authoritarianism.
