Not you too Boru (fucking with us, right)? The "ist" in antitheist descibes a person who holds to antitheism. Theism is not a person. We can approach it in the reverse. Theists, for example, aren't "people who believe in people, who believe in god" they are people who hold to theism.
We could use a similar term to describe the absurdity. Atheist. A theist is a person...so is an atheist a person who doesn't believe in theists?
Ists hold isms. There's no need to alter an easily understood and well structured suffix set just because people cant speaka da engrish. Those people are going to find a way to "misunderstand" regardless of what new terms we use in place of those already in service and well suited.
