I am not an anti-theist though. I believe, as social animals, we human beings make up everything, religion is one of those things and that will not end. Humans will continue to make things up and tell stories, it's how we evolved. We've tried to quash religious tendencies before, in the so-called 'communist' Eastern bloc countries, and it always comes back. Always. So, being against religion in it's entirety is a futile effort I think, albeit a noble one.
