I don't believe there isn't a god, I reject the hypothesis put forth that there is a god, because it's been soundly defeated at every term. Now the only "proof" there is a god is because you can't prove there isn't one, which, as we all know, is no proof at all.

Lightening rods, evolution, plate tectonics, all discoveries that have disproved stuff we formerly knew about god. Sure now most of them claim that they are with it, but at the time it shook theistic foundations, so it still counts.

I don't like the term anti-theist, it's used to make it sound like you're against theists instead of against religion, and we see that applied all the time in other groups.
