Anti-theism isn't a position about just one god or about contradictions in magic books. It's a moral appraisal of a type of belief that isn't wholly exhausted by the set of abrahamist beliefs, but does include them.
Beliefs in personal and intervening gods. It sounds like you're just an atheist, and, this coming from a pretty aggressive antitheist, you probably wouldn't want to describe yourself as one unless you want to assume the baggage that comes with it. It's a hefty set of frequently unpopular opinions, even amongst other atheists, lol. The simplest way to explain the difference is that for many atheists, were a god to show up on their doorstep that would be significantly modifying of their positions. To an antitheist, it would just be a tuesday.
