Hi Fisher, welcome
By my guess it tends to be a sausage fest, but there are quite a few of the fairer sex too. I also have a slight bias for being more comfortable talking to females, when face to face, which I can only attribute to my father being an utter shit. But I tend to get along with both just fine, as long as they are not nob heads.
I'm not sure exactly where I stand in regards to the "anti-theist" label exactly, but I loathe religion (or rather, the potential it has for harm) with a vengeance. I hate the concept of "faith" being a virtue, the idea of worshiping imaginary characters, and teaching that a bronze age book is somehow magically true. I hate religion interfering with public policy, education, and the right to walk down the street without being hassled. I hate how divisive it is, and the persecution of atheists, often through ignorance of what atheism actually is. I don't hate individual theists, unless they give me a reason to. I dislike the fact that they validate the idea of faith as being anything other than a really stupid idea, but apart from that I take each one as they come. Am I anti-theist? I'm not sure if I fit the definition.
Anyhow, welcome aboard, and I look forward to reading more from you
