Atheism and Anti-Theism same thing?

[Aegon]

Hm, it's a different question from my point of view.

How so?

Now that I think about it, maybe it isn't. But hating things that makes someone happy and doesn't affect you doesn't make you a good person from my perspective. Actually, it makes you a dickbag. 

Well, first of all, it is liable to reinforce the morally bad and epistemologically inadequate beliefs associated with their religion.

Second of all, it's a waste of time. It doesn't serve any purpose.

Lastly, it's a despicable custom that makes one feel unnecessarily servile towards an imaginary entity, something which has probably not very good effects on the psyche.

1. Morally bad? Majority of Christians do not care that the OT has sexism, slavery, etc. They care about the overarching message of Jesus and the New Testament. "Red-Letter Christianity" is a thing for a reason. For many people, religion actually helps them be better people, be more charitable, etc. The nicest people I ever met were at my local church. I still like to volunteer there when I have time, despite being an atheist. They're not beating their wives because the Bible says it's okay.

2. From your point of view, yeah sure. But I could say the same about a lot of things. Why are you registered here, taking the time to post things like this? I could argue this is a waste of time too. Unless you think your anonymous arguments will have any effect on the world...

3. Oooooooo they spend an hour in a building with other people once a week and get free circular pieces of bread. And you know what? I also heard that sometimes they will spend 5 minutes before bed thanking this imaginary thing and being grateful for their lives! What slaves! FREE THEM FROM THEIR ANTI-INTELLECTUAL PRISON!!!
