My religion is atheist?

I don't think there is anything "militant atheist" in the post you replied to.

I also consider myself a secular humanist, but would never describe myself as religious.

I think that normalising not having a religion would help to bring tolerance for people who have differing opinions, while calling secular humanist a religious view may reinforce a bias in some people that "you can't be good without religion".

I strongly disagree. Atheism is explicit lack of faith.

For all practical purposes, an atheist thinks that without evidence, it's safe to assume that there's no god or gods.

Would you say that you're genuinely completely agnostic in relation to every single religion that has ever existed, even the joke religions (like the flying spaghetti monster, etc)?

If you asked me what my religion is, I would answer that you have already pre-supposed that I have one. Even though I would know what you're actually asking, I would answer that way to bring more popularity to the idea that not having a religion is normal. Yeah I know, I'm fun at parties.

People get very caught up in the definition of atheist and agnostic. It can mean very different things to different people.

Technically atheist is "without belief", and agnostic is "without knowledge".

Passwords have problems, but passkeys have more

Proton passkeys are stored in a password manager, which he specifically calls out.

If you have a password managed and know how to use it, you're already a lot less susceptible to the problem that passkeys are trying to solve.

Personally, I think passkeys are great for tech-savvy users, but I wouldn't dream of recommending them to non tech-savvy people. Password managers are still used by the minority, that needs to be fixed before passkeys are useful.

Requiring evidence for any religious claims that are made is not "opposing religion". When religious claims can be proven using the scientific method, then opposing religion in science will be unscientific.

Currently the best explanation for evolution does not include anything religious.
