[quote=Magic Magnum] 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.Being without doesn't mean hating.Example: I am without a PS4, but that doesn't mean I hate PS4. [/quote] Except it's not. [b]Anti[/b] is not the same as [b]a[/b] when modifying a word. A is for absenteeism, anti is for antithesis. The person standing in the room is asexual--asexuality is simply not having any particular sexual urges. The person standing in the room is antisexual--while slang, "antisexual" in this case would be easily understood to mean not the absence of sexual attraction, but being against sexually-related acts and thoughts. Atheist - Simply not having any particular theistic beliefs. Antitheist - Being against theistic-related acts and thoughts. An atheist could sit in a church and simply remain quiet, not feeling moved one way or the other by the various religious rituals going on around him. The antitheist would openly fight and discredit the beliefs of those around them in the church. Jorick was describing an "antitheist", not an atheist. They're not the same thing.
