Why do you think it is more akin to theism?
I think we can all agree that Atheism is literally a rebellious attitude as that to question a traditional approach. And Theism is more like following a traditional approach without question.
Don't you think this whole concept of design is a new take on an outlook challenging the traditional approach? (I think I'm probably the only guy that thinks this design and shit is real.)
Atheism is not rebellious attitude, it is a response to the claim that god's exist. It is a matter of not being convinced about the truth of a claim, no attitude is required. Just as if someone told me they had a pet dragon and I said "I don't believe you", that's not a rebellious attitude towards dragons.
Your not the only guy that thinks design is real, that I can assure you, theists have been peddling the design argument for a long time and they have been trying to weasel it into science classes.
