That's why I brought the classification of anti-religion. I consider myself both a gnostic and agnostic atheist, gnostic to all religions and personal gods, agnostic when asked if there is a god/higher force (not a personal one, maybe the kind of deistic god).
Some people seem to identify both definitions, most anti-theists I've met on the internet and the few I've met in real life seem to be more worried about religiousness and religion than by the simple god concept. I find the god idea silly and I'm against it, but I don't practice a frontal opposition to it, I'm not against people believing in higher forces, some of these beliefs interfere little or nothing with people's lives. In other words, I'm ok with people embracing metaphysical spirituality, I'm not ok with people embracing a specific religion.

Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you
