All of the above is true, but I too would like to add an opposite point.

At the same time Christians often fail to make the distinction between atheists and "anti-theists", as you so well put it. Not all atheists hate Christianity or any other religion. The ones who do the hating get all the attention.

I'm curious, though. What is the circular argument, and how does it imply the existence of a deity? They also accuse believers of circular argument, and with some justification.
