[split] Definitions of Atheism
#7
RE: A different definition of atheism. Atheism isn't simply lack of belief in god/s

Anti-theist, as the term is generally used, is probably more accurately described as 'anti-religious', as in, actively opposed to religion or faith, because you can't be against something that doesn't exist. I think the term you're looking for is 'gnostic atheist'.
