(6,452 posts)First, "militant atheist" is often used as a pejorative by religious believers that want to marginalize atheists. It provides an easy way for them to explain away a topic that makes them uncomfortable. You may self-identify as a "militant atheist", but the atheists I know don't like the term for the reasons I pointed out in this post, and in the Atheists and Agnostics group, its usage is seen as an accusation and is verboten. The term is also used by actual militant atheists who advocate violence against the religious. Based on those two usages, I have no fucking clue why you would try to identify as such.
Second, you weren't blocked from A&A to "silence you" but because you don't play well with others, you can't seem to go a day without being insulting, and you can't follow the rules. It has nothing to do with fear as your OP suggests, and everything to do with the fact that you're a jerk to almost every atheist that interacts with you.
