I'm very proantitheismistic myself.

What about a simple "God hater"?

I like the Qur'an's designation myself, "People of the Fire."

Sorry, you may NOT call yourself 'Borus', as that is patented, trademarked, and copyrighted. You may, however, describe yourselves as 'Borudians', meaning 'those who aspire to glorious heights'. I hope this helps.

Now, knowing that I have the mind of an 8 year old, antitheismists broke down this way in my head.
an-tit-heis(his)-mists

Wouldn't that imply belief in God to start with...
Let's not encourage theists further.
We're just adding to the delusion.

Why not call ourselves "infidels"? It has a nice ring to it. I also really like "blasphemer"

I prefer "member of the heathen hoard" myself, but it's kinda long and hard to fit in the endorsement section on the back of a check.

Just because certain people are unable to grasp the meaning of the word, we shouldn't make up a new one to facilitate their simplistic understanding of language.
I've yet to see a theist on these boards to misunderstand the word antitheist. So far, only atheists did it.
