I didn't write atheism in bold for you to continue to mispell it. Anyway, you're whole argument isn't really philosophical as much as one about the English language. You're giving these words definitions they don't have.
A- Anti or none
Theism- God, religion, etcetera
Atheism: No god
Gnosticism: All knowing
Agnosticism: Not knowing
Basically, no without god there would be no atheists, but that's only because if there was no belief in God, there would be no such thing as a theist, and therefore no word to counter the word theist.
And for the topic: I also like the bumper sticker: "Keep Tahoe Local" and I want one because I live in Marin County and all the rich brats here go down to Tahoe to there million dollar cabins and pretend they're one with nature and compassion meanwhile the locals like me (my sister says I betrayed them when I moved) get to watch them roll around Tahoe in their big SUVs with bumper stickers that say, "Keep Tahoe Blue." Geez they piss me off.

And the Buddha replied, "Why not try crawling into the blazing furnace?"
