Definition of Atheism

[pocaracas]

Finally, some sense in a concise form!

Now then, what word would describe "not theism"?
If not atheism, then what?

I manage it sometimes.

Not sure if there's single term just for that, since it describes every non-theist. Strict agnostics aren't theists, but aren't atheists on my view either, and I think they'd agree.

Some of them would agree.
Others wouldn't.

"internet atheists" seem to regard 'atheism' as "not theism" and "theism is false", hence the need for further clarification with extra terms.
There are some dictionaries that carry both those definitions.... others carry only one.
If we assume that the union of all dictionaries has all the usages of a given word, then it is reasonable to accept that 'atheism' is a large scope word encompassing both "not theism" and "theism is false" and maybe something else I'm not considering/remembering.

They don't think theists or atheists are justified in affirming their positions.

Perhaps ignostic/theological noncognitivists.

ugh... weird words.
We'd have to change the forum's name to "ignostic forums"!
