I used to find the anti-theist view that religion is evil and always opposes progress to be fascinating but I've grown over it - I could classify myself as an anti-theist only in the sense that if God existed and was omnipotent I would be against him because of all the evil there is in the world. If any opposition or criticism to religion is classified as "anti-theism", then most atheists are - If not, I'm not.
