'''Antitheism''' is active opposition to and hatred of theistic belief. It is distinguished from simple [[atheism]] in that it is not simply a rejection of belief in God; rather, the antitheist is actively opposed to such belief.<ref>http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=Antitheist</ref> While a particular atheist might be content to deny the existence of God, but leave others to their own faith, the antitheist will actively seek to undermine or eliminate the faith of others. Thus, all antitheists are [[atheists]], but not all atheists are necessarily antitheists. Antitheism is also sometimes referred to as [[militant atheism]], and is prominent amongst people who see religion as promoting "hatred".
