As already mentioned, there’s nothing wrong with comfort and ofc we all find comfort valuable. Also, as already mentioned.... theism does not refer to the belief in an afterlife. Anti theism, not anti comfort or anti afterlife-ism.
I don’t think that what’re comfort theism is supposed to provide, which is highly debatable in and of itself, is worth the noted effects of theism. You may not be able to imagine comforting notions equal to an afterlife( and specifically a contemporary Christian afterlife, no less).... but others can and do, and that’s not what theism or antitheism refer to in the first place.
If that’s your main objection to antitheism it’s entirely equivalent to objecting to hockey because you don’t like the taste of slurpees.
