The Opposite Of ATHEISM is THEISM. by Maynman: 8:57am On Oct 26, 2022 |
The term THEISM was first used by Ralph Cudworth (1617–1688). Theism (pronounced THEE-ism) means "belief in one or more gods." It covers a huge range of religious beliefs, notably the Abrahamic monotheisms, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Theism refers to any kind of belief in any god or gods, so it is difficult to make any other generalizations about it. Two people may both say they believe in God, so they're both theists; but what they mean by "God" could be completely different. This does however raise the interesting question of what all gods have in common-in order to be called gods since this is a matter of belief and not fact, it’s relative to different Theists. The opposite of Theism is Atheism, or the belief that there are no gods. An Atheist, is someone who doesn't believe there is one or more supreme, omnipotent, supernatural beings. It should be noted that one can be religious while still being an atheist. Religion and “spirituality” (two distinct concepts in and of themselves) aren't predicated on belief in a supreme, omnipotent, supernatural being. Buddhism is an example of an atheistic religion; there is no "god" in Buddhism. To put it very simply, theism=belief in one or more gods, while atheism=lack of belief in gods. 1 Like 1 Share

No, but since you don't believe in a God why then are you asking about the God i worship? Maynman: |
