If you suggesting I'm a fundamentalist be aware that there is no such thing as a fundamentalist atheist, since there is no dogma or book to follow

Me neither but here's why: take away the authority, the appeal to ignorance, and the indoctrination of others, and what's left of God? What IS the idea that apparently involves none of these things? Is that a theistic God? Or does it, as I think, overtake the word "terrorism" as the most meaningless word ever conceived?
Not much. Are you suggesting the deistic god proposition would be all that's left? As an anti-theist, are you too against the deistic god type? And by the way, don't you have to be against the god idea to be an anti-theist? The words 'anti' + 'theist' point that way.
