Antitheism

Their definition is just fine. You fail to understand language. Look up active in the dictionary.

Let me be more polite here.

Your definition is not wrong. Neither is theirs. You are simply seeking to get out of it in a dishonest manner. I don't know precisely why - maybe political corectness, who knows?

ac·tive
ˈaktiv/
adjective
adjective: active
1.
(of a person) engaging or ready to engage in physically energetic pursuits.
"I needed to change my lifestyle and become more active"

2.
doing things for an organization, cause, or campaign, rather than simply giving it one's support.
"she was an active member of the church"

Definition 2 would be the one that applies to antitheism.

Ok, I don't care anymore. Call yourselves whatever you like.

Well..that's what I was doing anyway..

[Mister Agenda]

I did. Now you need to. Look up petulant while at it.

You sound like an antitheist to me. But you identify however you wish, man. 

Point being every single atheist I've met in my life, including here, is an antitheist as well. I have yet to meet one who isn't - and that person would basically have to not object to religion or theism as a problematic set of ideas. Only babies are non-antitheist atheists. Everyone else is. It's just the reality of it.

Is there a word for a person who tells people what their position really is?

[Mister Agenda]

One can be a homo sapiens without identifying as such. Creationists come to mind.

I've never met a creationist who doesn't accept the label 'homo sapiens'. But it's possible to so do. Some categories are so concrete that a person is completely justified in imposing their own understanding over the person who is in error. Other categories are more nuanced, and a thoughtful person considers that they might be the one who is wrong, or that the category is so nebulous that their is room for honest disagreement. For instance, the term 'adult' is somewhat arbitrary. Someone who calls themselves an adult at five is simply wrong, but someone who calls themselves an adult at 15 may be able to make a case for it.

I was addressing the people who have an eight year old's understanding of language.

8 year olds? Warming up for another time out?

Ok well the definition seems to have a broad range of applications. The opposition to organised religion, yes I'm opposed to that. The opposition to any belief in a deity, I'm not opposed to that. The opposition to beliefs in specific deities, it depends who the deity is and so on.

So then to cut a long story short, it depends how you want to apply the word anti theist.

[drfuzzy]

But I am not an anti-theist.  I do not object to other people believing in a deity.

That's not what it means.

See, one problem is in the lack of clarity and consensus re: the definition of anti-theism.  And the fact that your take on it is somewhat dualistic.  There are too many parameters for me to consider to even answer the question adequately.  But anti-theism  . . . the ISM seems to be the problem, but it still applies to the worship of a deity.   It's not the belief in a deity, or even the worship of such a concept, that I object to.  It's the religion.  And that isn't even ALL religions, just the ones that have certain qualities.  You're implying that something is simple, but I find it quite complex.
