Just another amusing tick, imo.Christian's can be against the organized religion of christianity. All you need to do to be a christian is believe that Jesus Christ resurrected. That is it. If you believe in that, but do not agree with christianity as a whole, they are a christian anti-theist.
Which is fine, but being against the notion or institution or organized christianity does not necessarily make one an anti-theist. It just makes one a run of the mill christian, against all of those -other- organizations that call themselves christian...as many already are. Anti-theism is an opposition to -theism-...not churches or organization..or christianity, theism. A christian is a -theist-, regardless of whether or not they feel comfortable with churches, or the organization of their religion.
Christian anti-theism is a contradiction in terms. It is a theist anti-theist.
Sure, sure, the term gets used in many ways, in the same way that we've had "christian atheists" float up.
