For all -ism holds on to some affirmation and not merely describing some lack-ness. This is the first time that a term with -ism is defined with lacking. Are there any other definition which have defined the way new definition of atheism is defined?
Etymology isn't really my forte, but doesn't the "a-" mean "without"?
