In the strictest sense, "atheism" means "without God."
Origin
Late 16th century: from French athéisme, from Greek atheos, from a- 'without' + theos 'god'. Oxford Dictionary.
Meanings morph, dude. Atheism, right now, means a lack of belief or disbelief in deities. "Without god" is fine by me, anyway, because due to my lack of belief, I am without one.
What does that have to do with my point, anyway? If you missed it: "if abiogenesis is incorrect, your god of choice isn't the answer by default."
