Quote:I meant "being antitheist" as in being anti theists, not "being an antitheist."There is no meaning of the word antitheist that means one is against theists. It is simply a rather popular misconception among atheists here.
Quote:Just because you're anti theism and therefore an antitheist doesn't mean you're against all theists as people. Being an "Antitheist" is not the same as being "anti" theists.That's just dandy. I've been saying it all along, not sure how you missed it.
Quote:Deism is a form of theism that is harmlessIt's also virtually meaningless.
I won't address the rest of your post, since I think I addressed similar points in my reply to MTL. I'll repeat this, though.
If you identify as anti-religion, but not as antitheist, all that means is you are against religion insofar as it doesn't involve belief in deities. Nothing more and nothing less. And seeing how the monotheistic religions revolve around a belief in deities... Well, you can understand the implications yourself. You can't be anti-Christianity, for example, and claim to not be an anti-theist. That's just silly.
