Reply #74: antitheist: One opposed to belief in the existence of a God. [View All]

Here's a good explanation of the term:

http://www.answers.com/topic/antitheism

I'm not quite a militant as Christopher Hitchens, but I agree with his statement quoted on that page:

"I'm not even an atheist so much as I am an antitheist; I not only maintain that all religions are versions of the same untruth, but I hold that the influence of churches, and the effect of religious belief, is positively harmful."

Even though the term makes it sound like I oppose theists themselves, that's not the case. It's just that calling myself an antitheism-ist is kind of a mouthful.
