Not really. The a- is a prefix to -theos, therefore atheism is the -ism of the athe-, not the a- of the theism.

Just a heads up E, this is a Atheist forum, not a grammar forum.

Just thought you'd like to know...........

I'd still say that what the prefix is, matters. Words like "theory," "philosophy," etc can be defined by looking at the etymology.
