Why is it that roughly 93% of your posting content is usually some kind of comment about how you are winning your arguments?
Now that's an interesting question. I think (off the top of my head) that it may be to try to get it into the heads of the religious posters that trying the same old tricks and ploys will not get them anywhere. In fact they will lose them points rather than win them.
What I'd prefer is some mutual understanding and progress, because we are Not atually at odds as much as we need to be - unless Christian domination of US society, education and politics is what you -all want.
You would have to accept that the Bible is not reliable, science does not support a god and Christianity is no more belivable than any other religion.
And we atheists would accept that you Christians, etc. are entitled to believe what you want and indeed teach it to your kids and that cultural Christianity is of value.
You would accept that Faith is...faith and you would not have to lie and twist to pretend that it was anything else, and we would have nothing to quarrel about.
That's the way it is in the UK - and Europe, so far as I know and only in the US (of the Western nations) is anti -atheism locked into the national psyche. So much so, it sees, that even some deconverts to irreligion cannot drop anti -atheism.
You walked right into the trap without even looking. I could see that coming and I debunked that argument beforehand. So the only person whose credibility is trashed by that post is yours.
Milk or plain?
I don't remember your living history, but I learned something long ago -- sometimes it's the outsider that has a better perspective on some things than the insider.
The fact that someone would even try to use a term like "anti-atheism" says that they are not winning. The term almost sounds like satire.
That anti-atheists do exist is irrelevant to whether we are winning or not. Your conclusion does not follow your premise. Can you name the fallacy you used?

How you try to make a term (coined only because of the 'anti -theist ploy plus a phenomenon that is only too evident)look to confirm your own bias is irrelevant to me.
