Yes. I recognize some of the descriptors that you are using may be bridging a gap from my descriptions.

That theism doesn't begin and end with a personal belief, but necessarily entails a system, a doctrine, an ontology, etc.
The dictionary is basically the doctrinaire for humanists (atheists). The list of words are used to describe reality, reason, and communicate ideas into practical applications, whether it be tangible or abstract.
