Does atheism guarantee disbelief in anything unproven?

There just might be a mountain of positive motivations for antitheism. Mountains made of human remains, to be precise.

Yeah, I basically considered antitheism a positive movement in my post. (Just to clarify, when I say "positive" I don't mean "good", I mean it in the sense of positive and negative liberty). Even though antitheism is all about tearing something down, which technically makes it negative (again that's not a bad thing - I think the world would be better off without religion), it is still actively trying to do something.

I only called pure atheism negative, because it is. Pure atheism can't be positive per se, because technically it isn't anything at all. It's just an absence of something. There's nothing to unite around. Like I said, it doesn't make sense to have a community of non-knitters.

To be sure, there are tons of human-oriented reasons for one to be an antitheist, but rationality still tends to be a dominating force in the lives of antitheists (not all, but most).
