Some extremely basic terminology...
Theist: believes in a god(s).
Deist: believes in a god(s) that created the universe but subsequently abandoned it and/or believes that reason and observation of the natural world are sufficient to determine the existence of god(s).
Atheist: does not believe in a god(s).
Agnostic: does not claim to know if a god exists or believes that such knowledge cannot be known, depending on the definition. Typically when I personally use this label I'm referring to the former.
Gnostic: claims to know one way or the other if a god exists.
There are some more but that's the basics down. I'm an agnostic atheist. What are you and why?
What's up with so many Atheist now... Are people now just realizing that they think god isn't real... I mean back then mostly everybody in their country believed in their own god except a low ammount of people... now there's a lot more, maybe one day in the future schools will have to teach children that god isn't real and that science proves that, and when you die you cease to exist.
