I think it was Deist Paladin who said something I wholeheartedly agree with. Two rabid dogs, one in a cage and one running free unchecked. It's only the shackles of society and law holding certain brands of christianity back. And it's not just the Westboros. Listen to the sermon of these raving pastors that keep cropping up every now and then. From many denominations. If they were free to do what they want, it would be open season for hunting gays and doctors who practice abortions. They're lusting for their christian version of Sharia law.
Though to be fair, I've encountered quite a few anti-theists, even on this board, who would be pleased at nothing short of an authoritarian rule enforcing the prohibition of any religious expression or gathering. One could call that the anti-theistic version of communist dictatorship... but then again those tended to be rather anti-religious to begin with.
