An intensified form of atheistic moralism where opposition to religion itself becomes a moral crusade—not just disbelief but active hostility, not just critique but condemnation. The antitheistic moralist sees religion not as error but as evil, not as mistake but as malice. Religious believers are not just wrong but wicked, not just misguided but malevolent. The goal is not conversation or education but eradication; the posture is not skepticism but war. Antitheistic moralism treats every religious belief as dangerous, every religious institution as corrupt, every religious person as enemy. It transforms legitimate critique of religious ideas and institutions into a holy war against the religious themselves, abandoning any pretense of fair-minded inquiry in favor of righteous condemnation.
Example: "He didn't just think religion was false—he thought it was evil, and believers were complicit in evil. Antitheistic Moralism: treating disagreement as damnation, difference as depravity."
