Inspired by some of the discussion in this thread. I don't think it's appropriate place for that discussion there, but hey why not have a separate thread for it

If I think religion is not good in general, am I Reddit and cringe and basically Richard Dawkins?

    Atheism means you do not believe in a god.

    Antitheism means you actively believe there is no god. A mild distinction but it's the difference between what you're asserting.

    I was essentially raised atheist. My parents never told me god existed, but they never told me god didn't exist. It wasn't a factor in how I was raised to understand the world. As I grew up I learned other people were religious and came to my own conclusions eventually.

      I haven't seen any anti theists use this definition. I've only seen it mean you're against theism.
