Exactly, antitheism isn't even a position on whether or not gods exist, it's a position on the suitability and acceptability of such beliefs regardless of whether gods exist. Christ Hitchens may not have believed, for example...but his criticism of theism ala "who but a slave would want this to be true?" is independent of whether or not it is true. At least conceptually, it may be true, but that still leaves us wondering who but a slave would wish it were.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Iran has very active atheists. A few years ago, Iran's spy agency arrested some atheists and stole their identities.
They were anonymous bloggers. So spies of the Islamic government got their blog panel on blogger.com and wordpress.com.
They are now in the role of atheists in America and Europe, but they are spies of the Islamic government.
The American government is indifferent to this influence of the Islamic government of Iran in Europe and America.
This gives Iran the opportunity to organize terrorist attacks on American and European soil, such as the assassination of Salman Rushdie.

We heard that one of the atheists in Iran has an atheist forum in English. We do not know if it is true or false.
Sometimes in Iran, we see a student who was an atheist suddenly appears in the Persian language forum and announces that he has become a believer and a Muslim. Later, when we go to investigate, we find out that Iran's spy agency arrested him and forced him to confess that he is not against theism (as a solution to prevent prison or execution).
I read your text and I thought to myself as a joke, maybe the CIA or NSA formed a team to fight against atheists and forced you to confess.

I have been blogging against Islam on the internet for 20 years and I have dozens of blogs.
I write all my blogs myself. No one knows about blogs except me.
I have never told any family or acquaintances that I write political articles and criticism of religion.
Some time ago, I heard that some people, probably employees of the espionage organization of the Islamic Government of Iran, contacted European and American parties and requested money, pension and asylum because of the content of the blogs!
I thought to myself, there is probably a spy camera or Trojan installed in the house and computer, and they were able to get information to contact the West. Calls to fool Westerners.
I have left a message in the email and panel of one of my accounts that all the content is written personally and I have no partners and I have never received any money.
Such actions by the Islamic government may have the risk of another September 11 for America and Europe.

Thanks for all the responses. Turns out my new found "moderation" RE religion was short lived. You can't please all the people all the time and you can't make an omelette without breaking eggs. I am once again a staunch and....somewhat....outspoken anti-theist. Normal service has resumed, more or less.
