As mentioned above, there are some areas in which this article could be expanded. Anyone feel free to expand either the article (and then crossing out the relevant entry on this list) or this list itself.

• Explaining that there are different ideas about what antitheism is or isn't and there's not really one single authoritive definition.
• Something about violent forms of antitheism. Note: this section will have to be well sourced and carefully worded.
• Overall check for grammar, citations needed, etc. etc.

I also notice that this article seems to only refer to a single, rather specific (and I doubt representative) definition of antitheism. It looks more as if somebody has put their own definition in here and then expanded it by only including sources that support this definition. May I suggest to have a close look at the German version of this article for an example of how to do it better? Unfortunately, I don't have time and nerves to start a long discussion on what atheism is and what not, but this article doesn't seem to do it justice. 149.154.233.72 (talk) 12:18, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

1. criticism by metaphysical naturalists/atheists
2. criticism by theists
3. (that's problematic as a separate "extras" because it's used by 1. and 2.)

   Problems in definition, selection of focus, selection of range of topics to analyze, selection of significance (or specifically statistical significance of picking as a "measure" one bias over infinite others) of topics to analyze, etc.

We have antitheism, but we don't have antiagnosticism in Wikipedia.

Greek antitheist posters (actually analytical impersonal cosmogonology [cosmogonology (= comparing a list of cosmogonic theories): based on atheistic cosmogonic theories: Max Tegmark's, David Deutsch's, Andrei Linde's, Alexander Vilenkin's etc.]) (not all posters are analytical on what they propose to replace god)

• the theist is a superphysicalist personocrat (personocrat: personhood-centric; or adherent of a dominant person) - Greek atheoposter

This article currently references the Oxford English Dictionary, but the online version (www.oed.com) differs significantly from the information given here. The online version defines anti-theism as "The theory or belief that the doctrines of theism are wrong; opposition to or rejection of theism or theists" (earliest reference 1788), but anti-theist as "A person who is opposed to or critical of theism or theistic belief; a proponent or advocate of anti-theism" (earliest reference 1627).TonyP (talk) 19:35, 10 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
