- How come "theism" is a back-formation from "atheism"? It seems to me that either way "theism" had to had come first to form the term "a-theism". GabSte1989 16:08, 28 February 2011 (UTC)

1678
[edit]- "Attested in English from 1678, theist being slightly earlier, 16 years earlier in 1662."
Can someone find evidence of this? It appears to be unsourced. Y12J 23:21, 18 January 2012 (UTC)
