How to End Atheism . . .

Atheism is a lack of theism.

You are technically correct, however with no theism, the word loses any real meaning. There is no need for a word that describes not believing in something that no sensible person believes in. That's why nobody ever discusses "AToothFairyism".

There are two words that start with letter a: addiction and atheism.

There are two words that start with D and C: Divine Coexistence.

There are two words that start with the letter "a":
Atheism and awareness.
There are two words that start with "D" and "C": Dumb Coincidences.

No - Atheism is the non-acceptance/rejection of the beliefs and claims of Theists. Given these beliefs and claims aren‘t supported by a single piece of credible evidence there‘s absolutely nothing for Atheists to “lack belief in“ other than the beliefs and claims.

ETA - Atheism isn’t "a lack of belief in god”, it’s a lack of acceptance of Theists belief in a god.

No, it's not. I accept that theists believe in gods. It's freaking undeniable.

Better luck next time.

What does addiction have to do with atheism? I have known some religious drug addicts in my time. Some of them were Rastas and smoked industrial strength weed. Are you capable of making a coherent point?

As you are surely aware of, the words "dumb" and "coincidences" are common nouns, which are not capitalized. And so I rectify the first part by finding a proper noun to D with respect to atheism, awareness and "dumb": There is one word that starts with capital D: Dawkins.

Now do the C. It's improbable that you find the word.

"dumb" is an adjective, not a noun.
 
Without theism, atheism would still exist, we just wouldn't need a word for it.

We are all, right now, ascroptionisticists, though you wouldn't know that, yet, because scroptionisticistism does not exist. At least not yet. When it does, these words will be more useful.

If God was there and didn't want Atheism to exist then he could make it happen with a mere thought. If there is a God, and there isn't, then the Atheists are doing his work just as much as the Christians and the Muslims and the Jews.

......there's like 26 letters in the English language alphabet you know.....why focus on D and C ?

There a ton more letters, well, more accurately characters in the Japanese language, and the language of numbers has only ten digits.

So why the focus on only English?

Hey....I just thought of something...

If we are going to expand this letter game to include not only the English language letters, but letters and characters and digits from other languages, then I can do the same for this statement:

As the word Atheism is derived from the word theism I don't accept that it's simply not believing in gods. Atheism by definition is a response to theism. Atheism is not independent of belief in gods, it's a direct rejection of the validity of belief in gods. Believing in gods or not isn't a choice Atheist have to or can make as it's a complete non-issue. Not having a belief in gods is being a Realist not an Atheist.

So if atheism is by definition a response to theism, then monotheism is by definition a response to polytheism. Monotheism is not independent of a god, it's a direct rejection of the validity of belief in several gods. Considering that there are more than one religion in the world, each with it's own god, or several gods in so cases, and the ones who believe in one god usually believe in a devil too, which is a god by definition, so believing in several gods or not isn't a choice monotheists have to or can make as it's a complete non-issue.




.....well, that was a fun game. What else are we going to play?

I hate to rain on your parade, but the word "atheism" actually predates the word "theism" by some hundred years, so no, you are wrong.
