The main reason behind the term Realism in my case is
1. A positive discription which can lead a-realists to open their minds and think outside their tiny mind set which is controlled for them like children. (some people go to church just because they think it's the right thing to do).
2. to suggest the embarrassment religious people should have about their belief by calling them a-realists and to degrade faith (not the person) because many a-realists say "oh you're an atheist" as if it's a horrible thing. It's an unwelcome mind condition on their behalf.
3. because not all atheists have the same beliefs (Agnostic Atheist, Gnostic Atheist, Non Theists, Anti-theist) etc...
Personally I am Anti-Theism, and an Agnostic to the unknown, Atheist,
I also believe no one should be gnostic towards Atheism
I also dont believe in ghosts, angels, superstitions (black cats, walking under the ladder, no.13, black friday etc..) lucky pokies, karma, yin and yang, witches, warlocks, fortune tellers, ESP, women's intuition, satanic rituals, satan himself or any other human invented set backs.
To me that means Realism

Atheist = Realist
Theist = Arealist
Theist = Arealist
