The 'ism' bit comes from 'theism'. The A put in front of the word 'theism' means 'without'. Without theism - A-theism.
Atheism means without theism. It stems from the words Theos and Atheos which is Greek. Theos - With believe in god. Atheos - Without belief in god.
We've merely added an 'A' to the word 'theism'. So the 'ism' bit comes from you guys. If there was no 'theism' there'd be no A-theism. Atheism is merely the response to theism.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan
Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.
Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.
