[b]People are making a baseless jump to the Oregon shooter being atheist. [/b]
He singled out Christians but the articles I read said nothing about him being atheist. Now to my knowledge we don't know why he singled out Christians [u]but if he was against religion that would make him an [b]Anti-Theist[/b][/u]. Atheist are not against religion, people often confuse their reasons for not believing as being against religion. However, some atheist are anti-Theist as well. Lets also not forget the fact, there is a difference between disliking organized religion and being completely against it wanting to get rid of it.
[b]Atheism & anti-theism are two completely different things. [/b]

Which is true.

I'm almost certain that guy was an anti-theist or just hated christians as he asked for no other religion from my understanding.
