The first word that comes to my mind is sceptic. However, what's the need to separate atheism from god? It means lack of belief in deities after all.Define an atheist ? Without using these words: god, creator, or any word which indicates god.
Is it possible ?
Or an atheist means the one who doesn't believe in creation which we can see all around us ?
In my view deists and panentheists are not atheists because they still belief in a divine being or creator.
An atheist would also not believe that a spiritual realm exist at all.
Define it without using these words.Atheist = non-theist.
Don't they believe in their babies, until DNA test ?An atheist is one who believes in things only when there's evidence for them.
Yes! it cannot be mentioned, You are right.Define a theist without mentioning god.
But the term theism usually implies a personal god or gods, often god or gods who intervene in the world. Deism does not, and so on.Theism is the belief in one or more gods. If anyone believes in one or more gods, they are a theist. I believe deists and pantheists believe in god in some form, so they would be theists. There isn't really a gray area, contrary to what a lot of agnostics say. You either believe in god or you don't.
Not always. I've met some atheists who follow things that I find to have no evidence. Reiki, feng shui, magic, and so on. One can still be an atheist and believe in such things.An atheist is one who believes in things only when there's evidence for them.
