I think there's a misunderstanding.
I'm not claiming atheism = hates religion.

I'm saying Jorick's idea of using a negative 'a' without term in front of theist in order to describe those who hate Religion, is already the method that was used to make the term atheist in the first place.

Doesn't the a- prefix essentially equal "without"?If you are without something, you must now hate the thing you lack.

Being without doesn't mean hating.

Example: I am without a PS4, but that doesn't mean I hate PS4.
