All that means to me is that you are a good person and not afraid to show it.

What about hating religion makes someone a good person?

Anyway, I'm an atheist but I'm not an anti-theist. I am not against religion unless it leads to very harmful practices (ex: Sharia law.) People saying grace before they eat and attending church every Sunday aren't harming anybody and I have no reason to oppose what makes them happy.

I'm an atheist; I don't believe in gods.

I'm not anti-theist, until they start with the preaching.

I'm not interested in having this same debate in two places at once. Perhaps someone else might tell you why religion is undesirable here, I'll continue this particular conversation with you where it first started.

No.

Is Abstinence and Anti-Sex the same thing?

I think you mean abstinence and asexual.

Yes, it is, to a certain extent.
You can't be an atheist without being an antitheist as well, and viceversa.

Nope, I mean anti-sex. Asexual would be atheism, my atheism metaphor is abstinence because it is the lack of sexual activity. Anti-sex would be in opposition to sexual activities believing they are harmful, or whatever, which is in direct parallel to Anti-Theism, believing that religions/the belief in god is generally harmful.

Let's not pretend that anti-theism is at all a neutral position.

Are you an atheist because you do not actively believe in god, or because you think the concept of god is harmful in general to society?

Your statement is incredibly untrue. Case closed.

Heat, stop trying to correct the English language, you fucking nut job.
