traditional theisms don't hold up under the glare of modern science. it's too much bullshit to swallow without either reforming your theism into just poetry or leaving behind you forever and positively exclaiming "NO SUCH THING".

but that's just the first step on what ought to be a lifelong journey. the atheism egregore is a parasite that feeds on the minds of those who take the 1st step. it holds them hostage there and prevents them from developing meaningful belief systems of their own.

It is a lack of identification with the non-belief. "I don't believe that whales are a kind of fish" will not spawn cults. Atheism as a movement is based on an identification with a belief, which gives rise to a culture war.

I call it para theism
-
possibly comes in 2 variants? negative para-theism (anti-theism) and positive para-theism (spiritual but not religious)?

No, I mean that it constructs a cult from the idea of not joining a cult. It would even work for agnosticism, ie one could make a cult about being indecisive about joining a cult
