I'm an antisometheists.

As opposed to a proothertheists.

Wait a minute...... Question

Theism has adherents I wouldn't be anti about. Still there are also those....

I picked "yes" only because eventually I am going to find a reason to hate someone anyways.

I would have to say yes. So long as Christianity and other dogmas hold sway over how life works in the the country where I live I will be.

I would still count me as a "weak" or agnostic atheist though.

yellow what would you say about socialism? there are plenty of secularist do-gooders who want to control our lives, and plenty of christian libertarians who don't.

would people who want to control us (no matter what stripe) be the bigger threat then just stupid beliefs?

which is worse? a Christian who thinks you are going to hell, but is a libertarian politically, or an atheist socialist who wants to get chavez style government running right here in the good ol' USA.

its not religion per se that is the problem. it is dogmatic thought combined with a self-rightuous desire to impose your beliefs onto others.

if that is christian right wingers wanting to force us to not look at porn, or a socialist atheist wanting to take our right to bear arms away, they are both a threat to my liberties.

an atheist, or christian who is for liberty is my ally, and his/her silly personal beliefs are of no consequence to me.

Based on the wiki definition, I chose "Yes" for personal and selfish reasons. I don't know the implications on mankind today, specifically the morality of the weak-minded (those who need the threat of hell), but I think I'd like to take that chance.
