I find I tend to agree with you a lot or otherwise respect where you're coming from.
But :) Not all atheists want to avoid discussion of religion or are offended by them. I love discussing them with people because, despite the stereotypes, I find everyone has slight differences in the way they interpret their faith. Atheists are as curious, or more curious even, than theists can be.
I understand that, but considering that I am from a more controversial sect of Christianity, I tend to just not bring it up. Many atheists do have harsh criticisms that they are willing to belt out on any unwitting Christian that crosses their path, and while I know as a fact that not all are like this (most of my friends are atheists), I've found it much safer to just let them bring it up should they wish. In my experience, talking to someone about religion, especially mine, is much easier to do when you've already won them over.
Is it normal I am antitheist?

Fair enough.
I'd imagine the 'special underpants' question gets a bit annoying after a while.
