At the start of a conversation, agree what words mean.
Job done.
If you want disbelief in God to be "optfitterism" then fine. If you want a lack of belief in God to be "jorghiyyuism", then fine. I would say they are the same thing, but if you want to refer to them separately, that's fine too.
Moreover, SW's snide "Why didn't you reference any philosophical works? Could it be that they disagree with you?" is simply an appeal to authority. These guys say you're wrong, so you're wrong. Really? That's the best you can do? By what authority are these philosophers correct? Their own through consensus?
Color me unimpressed.
