What came first, the atheist or the theist?

July 22, 2010 at 7:24 pm

The answer is simple: The theist.

Because the concept of there being a God needed to be invented before someone could deny it.

I would imagine that it was only a few seconds after the first theist came along that the first atheist joined however.

Interesting to think though, that theists have been around longer than atheists.

Thoughts?
