Antitheist
There is indeed difference between atheist and antitheist. The former tends more to concentrate on rationality, and logic in criticizing religion in general and Christianity in particular. Antitheist on the other hand is nothing of this sort. An antitheist may use logic in reasoning but chose not to. Instead, you’ll hear just about any foul language, unsupported anger, hate, and antagonistic attitude towards opponents or those who happens to disagree with him or her. Antitheist can be labeled as either “militant atheist,” “new atheist” or “fundamentalist atheist.” In any case all three categories fits of what antitheist can be describe.
Theists and Christians of course shouldn’t be bothered, and get intimidated by antitheists’ hostile attitude. The reason why, I think, they turned to be more antagonistic in their attitude towards Christians is because they know fully well, that the majority of thinking people doesn’t buy there reasoning and ideology. They know that the antitheistic world and life view is unliveable, incoherent, irrational and even dangerous to even pressume its philosophy. They, the antitheists, are getting desperate to be heared. They want more attention. And attention is what they get.
But, a word of caution is appropiate here. While we shoudn’t be intimedated by antitheists we shoudn’t likewise over- and underestimate them. We should not relax and fallback and think that everything is alright because it is far from it. We are in the middle of culture war here. They, antiChristians, are getting foothold just about everywhere and they are out to destroy those who have faith in Christ Jesus.
