Depends on what you're defining "antitheist" as; do you just hate organized religion?

First and foremost of all must one understand that, an
"antitheist" is not the same as an "atheist": by definition, an
"atheist" is an individual who actively denies the existence
of any divine deities as well as supernatural beings; however,
an "antitheist" is, on the other hand, an individual who actually
believes in a certain divine entity yet at the same time choose
to go against the norms and laws installed by that divine
entity (the best christian examplar of an antitheist is Satan).
Thus, of course it is possible to be an antitheist and believe
in God - just like Satan.

Antitheist?
Never heard the term before...
But since Christians believe in Christ, and the Bible speaks of antichrist, them it follows that an antitheist would be someone who believes in a false god.

No I think you can only be one or the other, my brother and sister are both athiests and do not believe in god what so ever and I have a few friends and they don't believe in a god either! I am a Cristian and believe in God, i don't believe in that evolving monkey mumbo jumbo. I belive in a power greater than me , but I believe that religion divides people!
If you believe in a power greater than you are not an athiest!

Anti: A person who is opposed to something, such as a group, policy, proposal, or practice.
Theism: Belief in the existence of a god or gods, especially belief in a personal God as creator and ruler of the world.
So, an "anti-theist" would be someone who is against theists, but if you yourself are a theist, you'd have to be against yourself.

The two contradict each other. That's like claiming yourself to be a vegetarian and enjoying a nice steak every now and then.

Countless numbers of people have come to their own conclusions and gone on to lead normal lives.

An alternate definition of antitheism is opposition to God, but that's a different entity.

I don't think it is possible to be an anti-theist and not believe in God. How can you be anti something that doesn't exist?
