===Some terms that matter for /tg/ purposes=== Some terms for other relevant concepts: * '''Atheism''': Belief that no gods actually exist. The T'au really like this one. On its own, not as bad as its reputation, mainly because the more vocal atheists espouse... ** '''Antitheism''': Actively hating religiosity, which often includes any who follow a religion. See: The [[Emperor of Mankind]]'s [[Imperial Truth]]. * '''Misotheism''': Hatred of God/the Gods. * '''Maltheism''': Belief that God is evil. [[Chaos|Chaos anyone?]] <ref>Differs from Misotheism in that (1) you can think God is evil and not hate him (particularly if you're [[Alignment|evil]] yourself (see Religion of Evil, under the Special Cases section)), and (2) You can hate God and not consider him evil; for example, you could think Him merely indifferent to suffering. Also crops up in arguments for antitheism and misotheism. That being said, the main reason we include it here is because there have been factions in /tg/ relevant settings who hold this belief, particularly Gnostic influenced ones.</ref> ** The belief that God is neither good nor evil is "'''Dystheism'''", while the belief that God is wholly Good is "'''Eutheism'''". * '''Fundamentalism''': Usually used to describe a religious subgroup, which has an emphasis on "purity" and return to some idealized past version of their beliefs; outside of a few groups of Christians, almost never used by the group itself. If it's not being used purely as a snarl word (which it frequently, but not always, is), it carries the implication that the "Fundamentalist" group in question holds their creed or holy book as being totally, objectively, and completely True, and the source from which all other Truth flows, and that any disagreement with any aspect of their particular interpretation of Holy Writ is a lie.<ref>Interestingly, this term has also been applied to certain Atheists, particularly the more anti-religious ones, and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Market_fundamentalism Free marketeers].</ref> * '''Agnosticism''': The belief that we'll never get any confirmation of if God exists, at least on this side of the grave. * '''Ignosticism''': The belief that asking if God exists is meaningless if we can't even come up with a coherent definition of what "God" ''is''.
