Atheism means you do not believe in a god.
Antitheism means you actively believe there is no god. A mild distinction but it's the difference between what you're asserting.
I was essentially raised atheist. My parents never told me god existed, but they never told me god didn't exist. It wasn't a factor in how I was raised to understand the world. As I grew up I learned other people were religious and came to my own conclusions eventually.
I haven't seen any anti theists use this definition. I've only seen it mean you're against theism.
