I hail from a world where word athetits is considered a spelling mistake. For instance, this is an explanation from Urban Dictionary:
Quote:athetits
-noun
1. corruption of a word "atheist", probably first used in a information sharing website known as Yahoo! Answer (citation needed). the origin of the word is murky at best, but it probably derived from some n00b creationtits accidentally misspelling "atheist", thus creating failmeme in process.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
