People could point to something like "the golden rule" as being related to their theistic belief system, and while I might rib them for it here and there, I don't have an issue with "the golden rule". It's not an issue of -even though-, more like -regardless of whether or not-. Anti-theism simply has nothing to do with whether god -is-, or -is not-. It can be leveraged in either case (and for many things...it would actually make the case for anti-theism stronger if god -did- exist). For example......
There's nothing sick or malicious about a botfly, unless it was intentionally created as such. Why would anyone worship a being that -created- a botfly? Further, who would wish for there to be such a being?
That, my friend, is anti-theism.
