Why do you keep referring to belief in theism?

Atheists are not those who not believe in theism, they are
those who are not theist.

Theists are those who believe that one or more gods exist.

Atheists are those who do not believe that one or more gods
exist. Not theist.

Whether or not someone believes that theists exist is only
tangentially related to atheism.

I am going to have to but a snow blower if you keep this up.
