[Serious] Atheist Dogma

[Belacqua]

"Theism is belief in God," protects the theist religious doctrine, and atheists' dogma

Defining theism to be an ontological doctrine challenges the religious doctrine that belief and knowledge is magically installed into the soul.

I think I'm finally beginning to get a handle on your position here. Though I may still be wrong....

Some people are using "theist" and "atheist" purely to describe two states of belief. With our without. 

If I'm reading you right, you feel this points too much to individual belief and fails to focus on the fact that the theists are subscribed to some larger doctrine. That theism doesn't begin and end with a personal belief, but necessarily entails a system, a doctrine, an ontology, etc. 

It may be that in many cases the same is true of atheists. Certainly the atheists who form the majority on this forum seem to hold very similar views, to the point that we could almost identify a doctrine or ontology. 

(I've been arguing all along that the atheists who post here, while lacking belief, have more than a lack -- they necessarily have some system or web of beliefs as well. Whether this rises to the level of doctrine or not I'm not sure.) 

Is this a fair reading of your views? I'm genuinely curious.
