Opposing isn't equal with hating.

If being determines consciousness then your reason for not being anti-theist are probably as valid as mine for being this. I'm against religion even if it leads to vaguely harmful practices and promoting of homophobia, anti-Semitism and nationalism or enforcing nonsensical taboos with help of gov could hardly be called other than very harmful.
I'm not at all concerned with happiness of people who try to force their age old beliefs at others.
The first revolt is against the supreme tyranny of theology, of the phantom of God. As long as we have a master in heaven, we will be slaves on earth.
