→Aristotle was a theist and not secularist.
:I'm afraid I am confused now. A believer in false gods and not the one true God is a "theist", not an atheist? People who believe [[Satan]] is God, and deny the one true God, are not atheists? [[User:RobSmith|RobS]]<sup>[[User talk:RobSmith|''Zelensky Must Go!'']]</sup> 11:25, April 1, 2025 (EDT)

::Setting aside the issue of you being a confused person or not, the Webster-Merriam dictionary defines a theist thusly: "a believer in theism : a person who believes in the existence of a god or gods", source: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/theist Cambridge dictionary does likewise: https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/english/theist If memory serves, and I believe it does, the term theist applies to both monotheists and polytheists. And I believe you are confused/mistaken as far as the definition of atheist as well. [[User:Conservative|Conservative]] ([[User talk:Conservative|talk]]) 11:42, April 1, 2025 (EDT)
