Esquilax it seems you're confusing anti-theism (opposition to religions and/or belief in god/s) with negative/weak atheism.
What you describe, that's essentially weak/negative/agnostic atheism*. What the OP describes would be positive/gnostic atheism*. Anti-theism is something else entirely (and it's not actually incompatable with theism, you can believe there is a god, that that god is an asshole, and it would be best if nobody worshiped the monster, these beliefs would make you an anti-theistic theist).
*no they arent all the same thing either, each of the descriptions by you and the OP seems to me to be a combination of those...
