Another thread made me think of this again. How do each of you define these terms?
- theist
- agnostic
- atheist
- antitheist
It seems to me that to a large degree, these terms are either new or radically re-defined from their historic meaning. I'm interested to see what people think they mean now.
Are they mutually exclusive? Can a person be both a theist and an agnostic, for example?
Does atheism imply antitheism? Does antitheism imply atheism?
Which term or terms would apply to a newborn baby? Why?
- theist
- agnostic
- atheist
- antitheist
