Sorry, I should have been clear on one point.  Anti-templars are templars 
who left the order _and_ have embraced the power of the Reckoners to replace 
that of the Martyrs (they still retain the "lesser" Saint gifts and can gain 
new ones, presumably from the Reckoners as well).

There are presumably templars who have left the order over internal 
disagreements (typically with the "worthiness" policy) who are NOT 
anti-templars.  My original statement implied that anyone who left was an 
anti-templar, and that is not correct.  Sorry.
