My suspicion was that atheism was more about being against something (faith, or theism if you will) than being for nothing or believing not in God, this is what I meant. After reading many of the posts in these forums over the past few months I felt that many of interactions between 'atheists' and 'theists' was more like oil and water and antagonistic at times.
