I reckon the difference is that people who are devout Muslims are people who have studied it and live that life. Lots of people who claim to be Christians don’t know anything about Christianity and think them going to church on Sundays excuses their behavior for the entire rest of the week when they’re not at church.

Being an “antithiest” would be just being an asshole to me, as an agnostic.
One can think that no human is able to be absolutely correct about metaphysical concepts that don’t have empirical evidence — and still not begrudge the faith of others. If you’re not demanding others believe what you believe, I could care less if it brings you comfort and community. If anyone is making laws or policy based on dogma (not faith) and you lose me immediately, and i guess I’m against that — whichever the religion. I don’t think that makes me an “antitheist” though.
OP seems to have a fixation with Christianity and Islam though. There is plenty of mud on everyone’s faces, historically, in both cases.

People are taking this a bit too seriously I think. This post is referencing another one where Mario is an atheist and then refuses to mock Islam because it’s too dangerous. This one just changed him to be an antitheist and actually agree this time to subvert expectations.

Jesus was a pagan and all religions are a man made concept to keep people locked in to fearing a creator of their choice.

I can’t believe Mario said that
Isn’t antiatheist just a regular believer?
