  • Nontheism is a term that covers a range of both religious and nonreligious attitudes characterized by the absence of — or the rejection of — theism or any belief in a personal god or gods. It is in use in the fields of Christian apologetics and general liberal theology. "Nontheism" should not be confused with "irreligion". Non-theism has various types. "Strong atheism" is the positive belief that a god does not exist. Someone who does not think about the existence of a deity may be termed "weakly atheistic", or more specifically implicitly atheist. Other, more qualified types of nontheism are often known as agnosticism, or more specifically explicit atheism. "Strong" or "positive" agnosticism is the belief that it is impossible for humans to know whether or not any deities exist. It is a more precise opinion than weak agnosticism, which is the belief that the existence or nonexistence of any deities is unknown but not necessarily unknowable. Philosopher Anthony Kenny distinguishes between agnostics, who find the claim "God exists" uncertain, and theological noncognitivists, who consider all God-talk to be meaningless. Other, related, philosophical opinions about the existence of deity are ignosticism and skepticism. Because of variation of the term "god", it is understood that a person could be an atheist in terms of certain portrayals of gods, while remaining agnostic in terms of others. Invented originally as a synonym for secularism (see below), it has become an umbrella term for summarizing various distinct and even mutually exclusive positions united by a naturalist approach, sometimes in the plural, nontheisms.
  • El no-teísmo es una definición religiosa que se refiere a aquellas corrientes espirituales o filosóficas que no aceptan la creencia en un dios creador o absoluto. Se diferencia del ateísmo en que es más usual que acepten (los no-teístas) conceptos espirituales como la creencia en el alma, la vida después de la muerte y hasta la existencia de dioses, espíritus y deidades, aunque estas son vistas generalmente como seres no absolutos que evolucionan y cambian. Las más famosas corrientes no-teístas son el budismo y el jainismo, aunque algunas veces el taoísmo y el confucianismo son clasificadas como religiones no-teístas también.
  • Nonteizm, nieteizm – doktryna religijna, która nie afirmuje ani też nie neguje istnienia Boga. Za religie nonteistyczne najczęściej uważa się: buddyzm i dżinizm, a także religie taoiczne: taoizm, konfucjanizm. Poglądy nonteistyczne znajdowały odzwierciedlenie w chrześcijaństwie (np. wczesnym greckim). W buddyzmie i dżinizmie istnieje doktryna oświecenia; porównania buddyjskiej i dżinijskiej doktryny nirwany z Bogiem biorą się głównie z podobieństwa do hinduistycznej doktryny mokszy, która jest zdecydowanie teistyczna. Religie i filozofie nonteistyczne charakteryzują się przede wszystkim skupianiem dużej uwagi na właściwym życiu moralnym.
  • Não-teísmo abrange vários conceitos relativos à espiritualidade e religião que não incluem a ideia de uma deidade — um Deus ou vários deuses. Pode-se aplicar ao ateísmo, agnosticismo e ignosticismo, bem como a certas religiões orientais incluindo o Confucionismo, Taoísmo, Jainismo e Budismo. Tem também semelhanças com o Existencialismo cristão.
