Re: Atheism vs. Antitheism

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the OP basically labels vocal atheists as "anitheists," and then rhetorically asks how they're different from fundamentalists. Well, besides the fact that we're probably right, I'd say we also differ in that we have no elected officials in Congress and generally don't attempt to impose our will on anyone. I'm curious where you run into these rabid antitheistic types besides on message boards like 2+2.

FYI - I am the OP.
I'm not trying to lable vocal atheists as antitheists. I see the difference as, "I don't believe in a supreme being" vs. "I don't believe in a supreme being and you shouldn't believe in a supreme being either."
And, I'm not trying to level my comparison outside this forum either. As another poster has said, antitheists don't go door to door.

We call this a strawman.
