for one thing, that's literally not why it's structured like that. It's structured like that because of how the english language works. Take that up with big language, not big religion.

It'd be like calling the americans (the colonizers, not the natives) anatives. Not like calling the natives "notwhites" Though im sure you would agree with me there, considering how that went down. You are literally just pulling this out of your ass.

I mean you really don't seem to understand how these words are supposed to work. Theism is literally defined as "caring about religion" Atheism is literally just the opposite, not caring about it. Are you suggesting that theists should be offended at being called "theistic" Yes i realize my dipicition of theism here is not the best, but fight me about it.

This is like complaining about dehydration being the term for people who "havent consumed enough water" because it was created by the rich elities who can drink enough water. It's literally just language. Why is this such a big pain point for you? I literally do not understand why.
