Thread:User talk:Ty/Are you an anti-theist?/reply (3)

A website commonly associated with this one currently has the following on its main page:

An American anti-atheism campaign is in gear and it will grind up atheism into a fine pulp.

And you question why non-believers would like to get organised, let their presence be known, find like-minded people, and generally let it known that "it's okay to not believe". About a year or so ago Ty was hiding a copy of The God Delusion where most people hide their hardcore porn just in case it was found. I received a torrent of abuse from someone over Facebook for being an atheist. A friend of mine who was an LGBT officer with the Student's Union received an email from the local Christian group saying "we're aware of your lifestyle, we hope you repent and don't go to hell".

Given this sort of thing, we would well be in our rights to be "anti-theists" and be very proud of that description.
