Do you prefer anti- to non- ?

We do get some pretty naive-theists through here though who strike me as surprised when we don't greet them as liberators.
I think anti is different to non. There are some shopping seem to view theists with a kind of polite bafflement, much as I regard people who believe in ghosts. There are others who seem active hostile to religion and religious people, much as I regard people who are anti vaccination.
