That's not what it means.
See, one problem is in the lack of clarity and consensus re: the definition of anti-theism. And the fact that your take on it is somewhat dualistic. There are too many parameters for me to consider to even answer the question adequately. But anti-theism . . . the ISM seems to be the problem, but it still applies to the worship of a deity. It's not the belief in a deity, or even the worship of such a concept, that I object to. It's the religion. And that isn't even ALL religions, just the ones that have certain qualities. You're implying that something is simple, but I find it quite complex.
