About this site
The word
Atheism is a position on a question: is there a god? The answer here is no. Antitheism is a position on a second, separate question: is religion, taken as a whole, good for us? The answer here is also no. The two are independent. Plenty of atheists hold the first and reject the second.
Antitheism is not a hatred of religious people. It is the position that religion’s claims about the world are ordinary factual claims, that they can be checked like any other, and that a set of institutions built on unfalsifiable authority does measurable harm worth naming. Those are arguable positions. This site argues them.
What this site does
It takes one religious claim about the physical world at a time, states it as its own adherents state it, sets the relevant evidence beside it, and shows the work. Every topic ends in a list of sources you can open yourself. Where a claim turns out to be ridiculous, the page is allowed to notice. The joke is always aimed at the claim, never at the person who was handed it; most of us were handed it too.
There is nothing here about how you should feel, and nothing about what you should do next. The evidence is the product. What you make of it is not the site’s business.
How a topic is built
The claim is stated in its strongest ordinary form, not a caricature. If a version of it is defended by people who actually study the subject, that is the version that gets addressed. Evidence is drawn from primary literature and the relevant scientific bodies, cited specifically enough to check: a paper with a DOI, an agency publication, a dataset. Secondary sources are used to explain, not to establish.
Each topic then lists the standard objections and answers them. An objection that lands is not left off the page. Where the honest answer is “this part is genuinely uncertain,” the page says that instead of overclaiming, because a case that needs padding is not a case.
Why it is anonymous
No name, no face, no biography. Two reasons. The first is practical: saying these things publicly carries real consequences for some people who say them, and there is no reason to volunteer for that. The second is that it should not matter. An argument does not get stronger because of who made it. Every claim on this site is sourced precisely so that it stands or falls on the sources, and not on anyone’s credentials or story.
Errors
This site argues that a claim which cannot be corrected is not worth much. That standard applies here too. If something on these pages is wrong, misattributed, out of date, or resting on a source that does not say what it is cited as saying, report it at r/theAntitheist. Point at the specific line and the specific source. Corrections that hold get made, and the page says what changed.
