Yes it does. A theist is someone who believes in the existence of a being or beings.

I think even solipsists believe in the existence of beings.

What you mean is probably 'deity'.

But that still doesn't mean "without theism". When we're talking about definitions even small differences matter.

When you hamfistedly trudge along making up definitions without regard to specifics, you end up confused, as many people on here seem to be.

RE: Where are you on the Dawkins scale?
I simply lack belief in god(s). My Atheism says nothing about my beliefs about knowledge.

George H. Smith > Dawkins
