Nihilist are atheistic as well.

Generally.

Anti-theist according to Christopher Hitchens, the rejection of god, AND that you wish there isn't one even if there actually is one

Aka "you just believe"

Let's break down etymology here...

A~theism is 'Without Theism' or Without theology.

@RyeNorth Correct I think that belief in god is a negative in the world.

yeah I would say theres
theist: 100% believe its real
Anti-theist = 100% believe its false
Atheist - 100% dont care either way

that last one is Agnostic

Anti-theist are a sub category of Atheists.

A~gnostic means 'Without Knowledge'

or rather 100% dont beleive either .. because you are "without belief"

@Dr.Wol No agnostic means they don't know, or are unsure of it.

Anti-theists appose theism

Right

But are a subcategory of atheist

Yes

Anti would mean in opposition

It's where you get your militant athiests who seem hell bent on attacking the followers of a religion as well as the relation.

thats what they say,

But thats cuz people overlap definitions

You can believe / not believe

You can think theres proof / no proof

If we go by proof, we're all agnostic

If we go by belief, Agnostics are just pussying out by not admitting which one they believe

athiest would mean without beleif - anti-theist would require a belief .. they are opposites

theist and anti-theist are on one side... atheist are on the other

Fine if you want to go with that, @Dr.Wol I'm okay with it, but there is a distiction between atheism and agnostics

So, if someone asks you, Do you believe in God?
```Absolutely! = Theist
I'm not sure = Agnostic
Absolutely not = Athiest
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE GET THAT CROSS AWAY FROM ME = Vampire
Also likely anti-theists```

Atheist means without god

there is, Agnostics cop out
Atheists reject the existance of god (Cuz they don't believe in one)

no it doesnt

it means without beleif

It's deried from the worth theos

Which is god

```the·ism
ˈTHēˌizəm
noun
belief in the existence of a god or gods, especially belief in one god as creator of the universe, intervening in it and sustaining a personal relation to his creatures.```

Yes with out god.

With out a god.

the idea of Atheism is without belief

The term, means without god

Right

The etymological root for the word atheism originated before the 5th century BCE from the ancient Greek ἄθεος (atheos), meaning "without god(s)".

Atheism is, in the broadest sense, the absence of belief in the existence of deities. Less broadly, atheism is the rejection of belief that any deities exist. In an even narrower sense, atheism is specifically the position that there are no deities.

there is a god? can you see this? makes sense? wheeooowheeeoooo god alert

My computer... is god?

Deus Ex Machina

all and nothing
