Atheism vs. Antitheism

[Phil153]

I would like to hear from the antitheists how their approach to faith (or antifaith) is any different than the religious fundies.

The religious fundies are trying to convince people of the truth of a bizarre supernatural story. Antitheists, as you call them, are trying to convince people that this story is lacking in evidence, and not consistent with what we've discovered about the universe.

See the difference?

BTW, I am a great believer in faith as being a positive in human affairs. I have no problems with faith, or with people believing in some kind of "higher power".

What I am against is people placing that faith in bizarre stories like Scientology or Christianity or Islam. It lessens the human race as a whole - especially when these people suffer indoctrination as children, and end up doing the same to THEIR kids.

You only have to look at someone like BluffTHIS (who ironically, is a Catholic and not a Muslim or Hindu or Scientologist - I wonder where he was brought up, and where he went to school, and what religion his parents had?) to see the harm that religious indoctrination does to people. The poor bastard will never have a free thought in his life.
