It's not shell games. Theism is a big umbrella; it includes Islam, Christianity, Judaism, Greek mythology, and so on and so forth. The common property is that every belief system in Theism includes the belief, "At least one god exists."

Now, it seems to me that Atheism is also a big umbrella; it includes secular humanism, nihilism, naturalism, etc. The common property is that every belief system in Atheism fails to include the belief, "At least one god exists".

That doesn't mean that everything breaks down into your little boxes of "everything is either theistic or atheistic". That's fucking stupid.

[quote]Which makes sense from a macro point of view, too; under this view, Atheism is the complement of Theism. It includes everything that isn't in theism--i.e., every belief system that lacks theistic belief.

No, it's not a "complement". And no, it doesn't include "everything that isn't in theism". Your theism just isn't that important, dumbass.

But again, it seems like you've got a different idea for how to think about it. Can you go into more detail?

I already did, asswipe. All of us have been calling you on your belligerent use of false dichotomy. Start there.

I propose you go open a book on predicate logic and bash it against your face for a few hours and see if anything sinks in.
