Sometimes I have to remind myself that I can just google something, instead of posting a question and waiting for a reply. I'm old fashioned, I guess. Back in my day we didn't have these fancy internets.


Actually I think we did have computers back in the 80s when I was born, but we didn't have it at our home until the turn of the century.

Not necessarily, it's possible to be a theist and an anti-theist, particularly if one is a misotheist/dystheist.

I find the idea kinda hypocritical. I mean, you might say that religious people shove God down throats, but then anti-theist would be shoving non-God down the throat.

Actually it's the response to the proselytism which you refer to.
Indeed the bible which is so heavily promoted by the theists includes explicitly the command to treat others as they expect to be treated. Anti-theism is exactly that.
