Is the Atheism/Theism belief/disbelief a false dichotomy? are there other options?

RE: Is the Atheism/Theism belief/disbelief a false dichotomy? are there other options?
The verb, defined from google.com:

lack=

Quote:be without or deficient in.

It's the deficient part that pisses me off. Pet peeve of mine, years ago I used to say lack and I saw that - as a thesaurus reader, I spent 8 months reading a thesaurus- and it pissed me right off lol.

So I just say "absence", meh. "Without" works but I usually hear people say "lack" half the time and "absence" half the time, I stick with "absence".

My two cents,

Silly pet peeve,

Peace out,

EvF
