I think religions do a lot of harm. I am anti that harm but I do nothing about it nor do I think I can.
I don't think theism in itself does harm, but I used to believe it did: I consider all forms of theism to be false and I used to consider all false beliefs harmful, I no longer do believe that.
I have never been against religious people or theists themselves. I have never been a bigot.
Anti-religion does not equate to anti-religious-folks and anti belief in God(s) does not equate to anti believers in God(s).
Anti belief in God and anti-religion overlap in one simple term. Antitheism.
Then what is the term for someone like myself who is NOT against belief in God,
but is vitriolically opposed to Religion?
Maybe the definitions need tweaking.
