I think Epicurus was more of a deist or agnostic than an atheist. He did admit that gods might exist but they had no influence on the world. However, I would guess there were atheists before the 1800s if the word first appeared in 1587. --[[User:OscarJ|OscarJ]] 14:13, 14 June 2009 (EDT)

==English words==
This article appears to give the dates when these words first appeared in English. Isn't it possible that words for these concepts already existed in other languages before that? --[[User:OscarJ|OscarJ]] 14:16, 14 June 2009 (EDT)
