You have disdain for theism. Do you deny this?

I don't know if what I have is disdain, though I don't think that I have disdain for all theism. I don't claim to understand all of the motivations for theism, but that is hardly the same thing.

I see what you're driving at. Speaking for ME (and ONLY me), as a non-theist (or atheist or whatever you want to call me) I can say I personally have no disdain for those who believe in deities at all.
I have a disdain for theists who try to ram their fantasies down my throat (no, not you). I have a disdain for theists who use deception to try to hijack science curriculums. I have disdain for hypocritical or arrogant theists who presume they are somehow better, or better off than I. I have a disdain for televangelists who scam innocent folks. I have a disdain for theists who exploit grief and loss.
But I certainly don't spend too much time on these things. They are simply not important to me.
