Is it a stereotype that Anti-theists are about belittling and harassing others over a belief in God? Or is that really how Anti-theism is? I ask because I want to be an Anti-theist, but I don't want to resort to name calling, or whatever. I want to be nice about my anti-theism. I want to kill Religion with Logic and Reasoning--it's worst enemy-- without hate and disrespect towards its followers. Is it possible to be an Anti-theist and not be mean to others about it? Thanks a bunch.

Sure, and you just described how to do it.

If one identifies as anti-theist, will people automatically assume you're mean, though? I have a similar problem, though I think you can be a nice anti-theist, I don't know if you can avoid people immediately judging based on that label alone. But, I could be wrong. Anybody know?
