By misunderstanding it as a "belief system" against a specific religion.

Never mind - misread the post.
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.

By misunderstanding it as a "belief system" against a specific religion.
A belief, or value system, that contains sentiments which are not simply contrary to religion but encourage or demand active protest against religion, is not atheism per se. It would be anti-theism, although even that is probably not totally accurate as I can easily imagine a person who professed theism and yet considered religion to be uniquely destructive.

Does anybody else think money is a deity? To me it's painfully obvious.

hey its more of a plausible god if anything, you can see it feel it and touch it.
exchange "god" for various goods and or services. also if the church says your god is the root of all evil you can have the rebuttal that your religion and god has killed millions.
