What came first, the atheist or the theist?

[TheDarkestOfAngels]

The answer is simple: The theist.

I have to concur with others on this topic. By definition, the atheist came first, such to the effect that religion is much, much newer than the human race, especially if you consider the many homo species that were as intelligent as humans but didn't form any kind of religion, which altogether can go back millions of years to the earliest annals of human biololgical history.

Atheism is defined as not having faith in a religion and during the time before religion, everyone was an atheist because no one believed in any religion or other supernatural faith.
