It's an absence of faith, not an anti-faith. It is a basic human right to permit someone to follow a faith. All who are anti-faith are probably by definition atheists, far from all atheists are actively anti-faith. For right now it has a place and is key to many people's lives. Some base their entire life around their faith and, regardless of my view on that, that is their absolute right.

I'd rather not label myself, but if I had to do so, it would be atheist. I'm not anti-faith people are free to have a faith/ belief whatever, All power to them.
