The simple roots of the word atheism, and historical usage of the word until the last decade or two is the denial of possibility of the existence of a deity.

The above is the definition by which I crucify (lol) atheism on the same cross with jesus.

Which point in time are you attempting to lock the word to? Original? 18th century? Recent? Modern? The original Greek simply means "without gods."

My views are probably closest to epistemological atheism, which is certainly similar to agnosticism.

a- as a prefix means "without or against."
Atheist = "without or against the existence of god"

Now if you put that definition in perspective with the root theist, which descibes one who believes in god, the a- solidifies on the "against" or opposite (a-moral), rather than the "without" version of the definition (a-sexual).

you are actually wrong here, as usual.
Theism is the belief in a god or deity figure. (a) in english is a negative modifier.
Atheist is not having belief.
It applies across the language.
Social or asocial
Asocial is not being social. Anti-social is not the same as asocial
Maybe you are thinking of anti-theism....but I highly doubt you think.

a- as a prefix can mean several different things depending on context. Go look it up.
