In any case, most of the board isn't really anti-christian at all, but they are against large organized religions and strict dogma that causes harm.
That's like saying I don't hate bananas, but I hate all fruit. For 2000 years in various forms Christianity has always been an organized religion. Its only in the past 50 years or so that people have begun to see christianity as part of a religion buffet where they can pick and choose the beliefs they like and don't like from various religions. I find such a view of religion as incredibly self-centered.
When Christianity is reduced to part of a buffet of beliefs it ceases to be Christianity. Christianity in all of its major manifestations within protestantism, Roman Catholicism, and Eastern Orthodoxy has put an immense requirement on its followers that they die to themselves and live only for Christ. Thus in the grand scheme of things there is no middle ground. One is either christian or anti-christ. You either hate the christian God or you love him.
