It is called anti-theism............sigh, The -ist- over -ism- is speaking of the person who belongs to the set.............
A person who agrees with the position of anti-theism..is an anti-theist, as a person who agrees with the position of theism is a theist.

Ah I see what you're saying. Makes sense, thanks for explaining.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

I find religion stupid, and the tool of man. But I believe in Jesus. I just don't believe everything written about him. Maybe 'agnostic christian anti-theist deist' and you've got your description of me. Wow, you actually changed it. I think you would better be labeled Christian deist, because everyone is agnostic and anti-theist says nothing important about your views on god. But kudos to you for actually changing it.
Also, you can't really believe Jesus is god and be a deist. A deist believe that god interacted with his creation in NO WAY after he created it.

All the labels are weird.
A Christian Deist, as far as I can tell believes in the teachings of Jesus (which I don't, because I don't believe they were the teachings of Jesus).
I believe in a mostly non-intervening god (Prayer only serves to make you feel better about your situation), and I don't believe in the church. I don't believe Jesus was god, but I do believe he might have been the son of god.

A christian deist is a person who doesn't understand that christ is a title, not a brand name.

Literally, it sounds like you're anti religious people, but I don't think that's what it's supposed to mean lol...
I take it that they are against the people too . I mean "theist" is a person. Generally people that claim this are militants. So make a list that describes militant and see if one wants to be like that. We can also list the feeling we have with things we are "anti-whatever" with and see if it is healthy to think like this. Or even if it is valid to think like that. I am anti rats in my house. Germans were anti rats. I mean if you were popped in the ass, ok, I can see some "anti". But abused people need to understand how that abuse can effect a world view too.

Uhm... That would be "anti-theistism" and its proponents would be called "anti-theistists"...
