Come the Feck on, Who doesn't understand the meaning of the word atheist. Really. . C'mon regardless of your religious views that's a word you should friggin know.

I totally agree

It says it all about the intellect of these women!

It doesn't surprise me though as most women are pretty stupid where intellectual matters are concerned

They prefer to talk about clothes and celebrities

I know what atheism means but I know nothing about aethism.

v he does

Aethism means without faith, the lack of faith. Agnostic is different it means that you believe in a higher power, but not exactly a god. Aethism is not the same as agnostic. And aethism is not a religion.

Then stretch the truth and say you're agnostic....

I've noticed over the years that people say they are agnostic more than people say atheist, so I have an assumption that people know more about agnosticism than atheism, even though they are almost pretty similar.

It's not wrong to exaggerate since there are similarities of the two.

Yes, this is definitely one of those rare times that deserves one...

Atheism is not believing in any god

Agnosticism is not being sure if theres a god or not

Paganism is believing in a higher entity that isnt god itself

Atheism and agnosticism are fairly similar and most people have more sympathy towards agnosticism so even if its stretching the truth a little bit hed have better results saying he is agnostic rather than atheist

I am not atheist but I only date atheists. I deeply religion to myself and rarely discuss it. My boyfriend didn't know my religion for over 18 months as it is not an issue. I hate people who make it an issue

Let me guess.

Aethist = someone who believes in (or played too much) WoW?

If your bringing up religion when dating online, you might be doing it wrong.

Sadly, World of War Crack is not in my bucket list of playing games. Because it's to damn expensive on a yearly standpoint. It's like paying the bills, but with a video game.

I suggest you come up with something less expensive.

I googled "aethist" because I thought it might be an actual word but it just came up with this character on WoW, "Aethis". That's all. I don't know anything about the game myself.

A lot of folks aren't aware of the corner of the world you come from... in his area, Islam is all religion, all politics, everything. The concept of not having a religion at all is so utterly incomprehensible it doesn't register at all. Does not compute. (More RAM needed!)

Just make it easier for the poor girls and call yourself an infidel.

You're not the only one Boo. I have met plenty of people who have no idea of what an atheist or an agnostic is.
In my experience, it has less to do with intelligence, and much, much more to do with the culture that they are raised in, and to a lesser extent, on how curious they are as a person.
I would go so far to say that in parts of the world where religion is or has primiarly been the major influence, that reactions like theirs are to be expected.

It's hard enough for people in such a position to accept that you have a faith that is different from theirs.
But to say that you do not know, or that you have no faith, it tends to bring out very strong reactions in them, or confusion, or disbelief. :lol:

Unless you plan on moving anytime soon, you're going to have to get used to it, no matter how crazy it drives you, and find a way of dealing with it.
P.s. I've found that when it comes to "dealing with it" - discussing the subject logically gets me nowhere, I generally have to bullsh*t my way through it.
