I’m an anti theist. That doesn’t mean that I think theists are bad people, lol... I’m married to one. I think that theism is a negative influence on those people, and people in general.
The old chestnut about what it takes to get a good person to do a bad thing. If you can understand arguments critical of any other similar motivator, say authoritarianism and nationalism, then you can understand antitheism. It doesn’t really matter what comfort any of the three might provide an individual (and all three do, just as any number of beliefs that have nothing to do with a contemporary Christian afterlife do, try google).
