Thank you for the link ... the argument will be modified in future.

This may be of relevance (http://www.thedivineconspiracy.org/athart3.htm), haven't read it through yet but it seems to be suggesting that "atheos" is still based on the meaning of "theos" (just a lot earlier than I thought). The guy writing this is a theist and is strongly anti the view that atheism is not a active belief in the non-existence of deity but his arguments, whilst quite well written, seem to sum up atheist arguments and then just say "oh no they're not"

"The term atheos (a- means without; theos means god or gods) can be found in antiquity." Jon Meacham
