I'm very proantitheismistic myself.
It complements my polysyllabic tendencies.
No God, No fear.
Know God, Know fear. 
What about a simple "God hater"?
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.

I like the Qur'an's designation myself, "People of the Fire."

Now, knowing that I have the mind of an 8 year old, antitheismists broke down this way in my head.
an-tit-heis(his)-mists And ended up a guy with wet boobs.
I don't have an anger problem, I have an idiot problem.

Why not call ourselves "infidels"? It has a nice ring to it. I also really like "blasphemer"

Just because certain people are unable to grasp the meaning of the word, we shouldn't make up a new one to facilitate their simplistic understanding of language.
I've yet to see a theist on these boards to misunderstand the word antitheist. So far, only atheists did it. |

It's shorter and snazzier than antitheismist.
