Well, it is necessarily or at least in part a semantic issue, in that we are talking about words and their uses. I have just mailed Peter some texts from which I was drawing my analysis of atheism, and hopefully we can come to some understanding.
They key difference of opinion, as I see it, is:
"... the more crucial form of atheist rejection is not the assertion that it
is false that there is a God but instead the rejection of belief in God
because the concept of God is said not to make sense..."

This does not seem to me to mean what was intended by the term Atheism in Glorantha, however, or at least so I understood.
