Atheists are a-religion, not necessarily anti religion. It literally means without religion.
True that some are against religion, but so many religions are "anti" other religions that arent their own.
Most people subscribe to a particular religion because they were born into and raised in it.
How many "one true god" can there be?
A true atheist isnt "anti" religion, he just doesnt care to participate.

Its without belief in god(s). Most atheists are agnostic atheists. A Gnostic atheist would be claiming to know for a fact and that's as absurd as a Gnostic theist.
I'm an atheist and don't any away from that. I also go to a Universal Unitarian Church nearby that has a diverse mix of beliefs.

Oh, they participate alright. Ever been into /r/atheist? Their favorite hobby is participating by blocking others from participating in theirs. They're some of the most vehement of all.

I cant speak for them, but most atheists just dont care. They prioritize other things than religion in their lives and dont need structure or threats to do the right moral thing. Keep your guilt to yourselves.
I get that religion does both good and bad for people and that some people need that.
I do resent having to fund them by paying taxes when they dont. Especially now when so many "churches " are more political action groups than spiritual places.
Ive never had any interest in going to /r/atheist
