See that's where you wrong. No belief isn't atheism because the term without God.

Theism doesn't mean "God". It's a belief in God. A is not or without. So atheists are people without a belief in god. Its not just they believe god doesn't exist.

So a person who doesn't have a belief in god, and doesn't care/consider it, are atheists. They might only claim agnosticism, but they're still technically atheists too.

Actually:
The term theism derives from the Greek theos meaning "god"

So yea theism does mean God. :takedat:

Where you think I got "without God" as the meaning of atheist?

The term atheism originated from the Greek ἄθεος (atheos), meaning "without god"

:snoop:

The "THE" in THEISM refers to God. The "ISM" refers to BELIEF. BELIEF IN GOD IS THEISM.

Are you seriously this slow????? :mindblown:

I'm just going to where the words originated from.

As for your previous words. All atheists as a whole still posses a belief which is "god doesn't exist." That is fact.

^Agnostics do not posses that beleif.

No, it's not. I'm done with you.
Stay in denial then. Showing the same ignorance of the religious nuts that you despise. Ironic lol.

Must want agnostics on your side badly then Lol.

You guys and your agendas and wishful thinking and pacifying thoughts. It's sad to see.

:heh: at this fool describing religion down to a fukkin T

agendas-get the masses to believe in some bullshyt fairytale and live in fear of the sky, while convincing them that priests hold the answers and kings are divine/chosen by god

wishful thinking? what's a better example of this than believing that youre gonna float around the clouds with your family after you die?

pacifying thoughts - if you feel comforted by the 'fact' that theres a jewish space zombie sittin in the sky with his dad/himself keeping tabs on your life, you lost. badly

fukkin clown :wow:

If you don't think atheists have agendas too then your naive. :wow:

Also I don't follow a religion and I don't have wishful thinking or pacifying thoughts and I also have no agenda other than promoting human positivity so I don't know why your telling me that. :laugh:

I've been debating with you over the last couple of pages, and you simply refuse to acknowledge that words have multiple meanings. I see no point in further discussing it with you. If you can't see how not having a god belief is the same as not having a god belief, then I can't help you. Neither atheists nor what you call "full on" agnostics have this belief. It's a matter of understanding logical absolutes, and meanings of words. If we can't even agree that 'theism' means 'a belief in a god' and not just 'god', then you are beyond helping.

If you can't agree that atheism is the belief that there is no god then I can't help you. Trying to use words like disbelief and shyt to try and make yourself sound closer to science and make agnostics part of your numbers.

I see that shyt you guys be tryin to do lol.

You want agnostics to be atheists yet the meaning of atheism prevents them from being under the atheism category which you obviously can't see or even admit that the differences they have from atheists and theists puts them in their own category.

All you ever do is deny and close your ears to the truth that I'm telling you.

Some agnostics are atheists. Some agnostics are theists. None are neither.

Those who don't believe that god doesn't exist and also don't beleive that god exists are classified as neither.

God doesn't exist is a different claim than God exists. Atheists don't (necessarily) make the claim god doesn't exist. They just don't accept the claim "God exists" as true.

Reserving judgement is consistent with not accepting "God exists" as true.

Reserving judgement and not accepting the belief that god doesn't exist is one thing but believing that god doesn't exist is not reserving judgement and that's what atheists do.
