gk. __A- "without"__; __-Theism "belief in gods"__

Atheism is merely the attitude held towards [gods|OnGod] by a person who is an [atheist|atheist], i.e. without [belief] in [gods|OnGod]; and although some [atheists|atheist] (strong atheists) will make the assertion that there are no [gods|OnGod], most [atheists|atheist], including weak [atheists|atheist] (those [atheists|atheist] who accept that there may be some [gods|OnGod] somewhere that we have not yet looked), will deny the existence of particular self- or nature-contradicting [gods|OnGod].
