The Strong Antitheist

There's a subset of atheism called antitheism. And within that, there's a smaller subset that I'll call strong antitheism, until I can come up with the right name.

Atheists are well-known for their simple motto: "I don't believe in a god or gods."

Antitheists are also atheists (usually, that is; some antitheists may say "I do believe in God and I don't like Him"). The antitheist creed is "I don't believe in a god - and I sure hope there isn't one! He sounds awful!"

Strong antitheists are antitheists who go an extra step: "I don't believe in a god, and I hope there isn't one. But if it turns out there is a God who "takes" people in plane crashes, and quietly watches children die in earthquakes, and inflicts babies with defects to "test the parents' faith", and ordered "His people" to slaughter neighboring peoples... If that Being exists, my only question is: How do we find It and kill It? "

That's the strong antitheism that I embrace. Does it already have a name? If not, what works? Strong antitheism? Militant antitheism? Over-the-top antitheism? : ) Any suggestions?
