"This short note will look at the history of Greek atheos and words ultimately derived
from it (or in some cases modelled on it) in Greek, Latin, English, and a selection
of other modern vernacular languages of Western Europe.1 It will concentrate primarily
on when each of these words first appeared in each language, with a brief consideration
of their meaning. As writers far more expert on the history of atheism show in many
places in this volume, investigating the history of atheistic beliefs throughout most
of history is plagued by the difficulty that dire (and generally fatal) penalties
could be incurred for the avowal of such beliefs. Most of the evidence for words meaning
'atheism', 'atheist', or 'atheistic' comes in the form of accusations levelled against
individuals and/or their ideas or beliefs, and in some cases rebuttals of these, in
which semantic clarity is often deliberately avoided"
