Hey Anti-Theists! Prove Your Claim

[Mudhammam]

Like it's been said earlier, that depends on the definition of anti-theism that you're using. If the definition is 'the positive claim of the non-existence of a theistic proposition' (e.g. God doesn't exist) then there's a burden of proof other than those you've stated.

That's not anti-theism... That's Gnostic/Strong atheism, the belief no gods exist. Anti-theism is the opposition to belief/god concept and not the assertion that god can't exist. I'm mostly an agnostic atheist and I'm an anti-theist.

I'm an anti-theist and I'm not even sure I'm opposed to God as a concept. In fact, it most certainly is the logical extension of conceptions that we can only experience in terms of contingency and so long as God is an ideal that serves as the basis for our systematic unity from which we perceive the world, fine.

But that's not to say that God as an idea can be said to exist in experience. Any dogmatic claim to that should be opposed, especially when coupled with notions of God not sufficiently supported by reason, as we find in all religions. The statement "Man created God in his own image" appears to be, in fact, the case.

That's where I think anti-theism stands in the correct.
