How it's used
This term is primarily used in academic or formal discussions regarding philosophy and religion. In casual daily conversation, people rarely discuss their stance on divinity using this specific label unless the topic is explicitly about belief systems. It functions as a noun to describe a worldview rather than a descriptor for a person's personality or behavior.
Examples
He has been an atheist since he was a child.
