Because there is a time and place where jokes are easily understood, and discussions on the internet such as this are not the place for them unless there is some suggestion to the fact that it is a joke, and my apologies if it was a joke. Please see Poe's law.

Anti-theism = Opposition to Theism.

From the Greek Αντι = against, the opposite

and theist = theos = θεός = god.

No need for apologies, friend. I just tried to lighten the mood a little.

It is trying to make people see reason instead of mindlessly believing dogma. It is no different to any of the religious groups that come knocking on people's doors but we don't go around peoples houses to try and force our beliefs upon them, to do so would be rude although that clearly doesn't bother certain types of Christian.

That double standard of how the religious have door to door conversion campaigns and it isn't thought of as militant or aggressive but if an atheist is simply unwilling to remain silent they get called militant.

When atheists start committing terrorist acts in the name of God Richard Dawkins then atheists can be compared to religious fanatics.
