Theism is the belief in God, Atheism is the absense of belief in God, so they are largely opposites. The only similarities is that they are both concepts associated with the philosophy of religion.
The proper term is Atheism, or Anti-Theism if you are against religion.
It's called Theism. When people don't believe in a god, it is called Atheism.
There is no such word, since there is a perfectly good alternative, atheism, already in wide use. Atheism is the conviction that there are no gods or deities of any kind. The 'a' of a_theism is a prefix of negation.
The category would be called religion or creed.
Ism: represents Belief In or Commitment To. Theism: "theos" means god or God; "a belief in or commitment to God" Pan-theism: "pan" means All, Everywhere; "a belief or commitment to a god being everywhere or in all things" A-theism: "a" means Not, Negative-of; "a belief that there is no God" Mono-theism: "mono" means One, Single, Undivided; "a belief that there is only one God"
They are both overused in the UK!!

Atheism is the lack of belief in deities and is not connected to ethnic cleansing at all. Ethnic cleansing could be believed to be something a deity calls for so, in that manner, theism (belief in deities) is more connected to ethnic cleansing than atheism. It's possible for atheists to engage in ethnic cleansing but they do it for reasons other than atheism.
the simalarities between them is they both are music. <3 :)
It was made of cheese.
Atheism has no doctrine or dogma to refer to because it isn't a religion or set of beliefs. Atheism is merely the label applied to those who choose the "off" position to Theism (the belief in a "god[s]"). It is not, however, the statement "There is no 'god[s]'."
Pretty much nothing.
