How is atheism the result of theism?
Atheism literally means "without theism".
Meaning that without theism, the word "atheist" would be meaningless.

How is atheism the result of theism?
I don't have a religion.
A lot less churchsWhat if there was no religion? What if everyone was an atheist? How would the world look like? Would it be better or worse for planet Earth? For humanity?
Allow me to frame this question in two ways.
First, suppose that society and homo sapiens developed without religion. How would've that looked like? Is it possible for a being to evolve intelligently and remain non superstitious? Where would we be now?
Second, suppose that the next generation decides that religion isn't for them and atheism becomes the majority "religion". How would the near future look? Where would society go if humanity began discarding religion on mass from this point on?
So greedy! " This" is a lot!I don't think so. Even without a creator god, or a creator god who is absent (like now)
there would still be spirituality, in some way shape or form.
One would ask,
'is this all there is?'
A social-cultural system of designated behaviors and practices, morals, beliefs, worldviews, texts, sanctified places, prophecies, ethics, or organizations, that generally relates humanity to supernatural, transcendental, and spiritual elements.What do you think a religion means?
...
My worldview (yes I have one and I think that's something different that a religion) is not based on dogma, designated behaviors and rituals. Or the worship of a god or certain people for that matter.
My worldview is based on my experience of reality, desires, reason and empathy.Thanks for your answer. Please tell, to what is your worldview based on?
No, I'm not a god! (What is your definition of a god?)If it is not based on anything outside of you, aren't you then the god for you, the highest authority?

So there's an infinite number of Gods.I have understood "god" is title, like a "king", but higher, the highest of all. And what person keeps as his god can be seen for example from what he essentially serves his actions, or by what essentially rules him. For example some people may have fear as their god, it rules them. And some may have love as their God.
He who doesn't love doesn't know God, for God is love.
