      right but anti theists OPPOSE gods. which would lead one to presume that they might believe they exist.

        Antitheists oppose religion, not gods. I’m an atheist because there’s no reason to believe that anything supernatural exists, and I’m an antitheist because I think belief without evidence is inherently harmful.

        Antitheists oppose theist thinking. The term is usually used by people who identify as actively opposed to religion rather than just nonbelievers.

          well if that’s the case, I may very well be an antitheist. being raised as a Christian these terms really aren’t familiar to me. I’ve just called myself agnostic and gone on my way.
