Quote:Antitheism (sometimes anti-theism) is active opposition to theism. The term has had a range of applications; in secular contexts, it typically refers to direct opposition to organized religion or to the belief in any deity, while in a theistic context, it sometimes refers to opposition to a specific god or gods.

As an anti-theist I am still as logical as any atheist, just with more passion toward the dislike of religion than some or most atheists. It is quite appropriate and useful to dislike, even hate, religion for the simple reason that religion continues to cause strife and division in this world as it pretends to be the salvation of humanity with its falsehoods.

Yes, but you are not likely to care for my way of posting or Min's.
