Re: Atheism vs. Antitheism
[ QUOTE ]
The primary reason I pose this question is that it seems to me the biggest beef of many athestists is the fundies trying to force their beliefs on them.

No. By far the commonest beef is not with the belief but the actions it causes some theists to take. Stem-cell research, abortian, biology texts, science teaching, books in government book stores explaining how Grand Canyon was caused by Noah's flood, death penalty, religious laws in court, same sex issues, women's rights, childrens rights, etc.
Since the bulk of the 14th century ideas that fundies are trying to foist on society stem from their religion, reasonable people ( and this often includes other theists) attempt to prevent the spread of the disease by attacking the source. It's preventative even though it looks reactive.
