That's incorrect. Antitheist describes a person who subscribes to antitheism, not someone who is anti people who believe in God. It's a misconception on your part, and it's understandable, but please admit it.
And you would say;
"Yes, but just because I am against the belief does not mean that I am against the people who believe it".
Well, isn't that in direct parallel to what others have pointed out isn't the same thing, being Atheism, and Anti-Theism?
You see, when we apply your own logic to the situation you claim as accurate, we get an overwhelming sense of hypocrisy.
Tell me, would it not be the same logic as the response I assume you would provide, that "Just because a person is against the validity of a belief, does not mean that person is against the belief"?
Which is better:
To die with ignorance, or to live with intelligence?
Truth doesn't accommodate to personal opinions.
The choice is yours.
