Maybe I'm wrong on that one, I don't know, but I feel the term would be suitable for e.g. the four horsemen of atheism who are/were actively on the frontlines seeking to deconvert and make things 'right'.
I consider myself an antitheist, but I don't really 'act' (outside this forum, I mean). I don't think all religious people are insane, or anything, but I do think that religion has a negative impact on society.
Why do you consider yourself an anti-theist then? I'm not comparing you with my description, but instead I'm wondering how you would define the term.
