A few of my friends like having the argument of "Atheist vs. Anti-theist". Some say that the correct term is "atheist", whilst others think it should be "Anti-theist". The fun they have leaving each other long-winded comments on Facebook.

What I'm asking is what's your view? "Atheist" or "Anti-theist", and is there in fact a difference between the two?
Any chance I could request you to move this to Gen.? I didn't really mean it as an opinion or debate. No idea why I put it here.

You should bring your friends to the site. I would say there is a difference between the two. An atheist does not believe the statement that "god exists" and can either believe or not believe the statement that "god does not exist." An anti-theist is one who does not believe the statement that "god exists" strictly believes the statement "god does not exist." I guess an anti-theist can also be one who sees something extremely wrong with theism, where an atheist does not have to do this. By both definitions, I would say I am both an agnostic atheist and an agnostic anti-theist.
