Weirdly enough, Furturama kind of addressed that, Hedgie.
I was unaware that there was a distinction between atheists and antitheists. This is the first I've heard of the latter, though I can guess at a fair few infamous celebrity types that fit the bill (Richard Dawkins). But, it doesn't really surprise considering how much of a massive douche nozzle some of the latter can be.
I guess using a graph with a theism-atheism axis and a gnostic-agnostic axis needs to be redesigned to include a douche-nondouche axis?
EDIT: And I can't blame anyone for wanting to distance themselves from total asshats. I recently learned of the American Civil Religion which makes it so much easier to explain who I'm talking about when I say 'Christians-in-name-only' (CiNO).

The roots make sense, and I can see how the prefixes can apply to other phrases, but if you don't believe in a deity, isn't that just a rewording of believing in no deity?
Not sure if that makes sense to anyone but me; I often have trouble putting what I think into words. Let me know if you need me to rephrase it.

"People who don't believe in a deity" is a big group that includes people who believe in no deity, people who believe that you can't know if there is a deity, people who aren't really sure whether there is a deity, people who haven't considered whether there is a deity, people who have never heard of the concept of a deity...

Makes sense...so you're saying antitheism is a subgroup of atheism?
