Not to sound too invasive of your privacy - But do you think being an American atheist makes one more likely to be anti-theist as a result of religious influence in society? Living in a place where most people don't get asked what they believe, I've encountered many atheists with similar and different views on many subjects, but I rarely spot an anti-theist - Most people just don't care, they may be interested in an intellectual debate about the existence of god but aside from that "live and let live" suits most of us.
