Atheism, from the Greek, a-theos, meaning without-god. Although PlaneShift atheists may be aware that there are individuals like Talad -- whom others claim to be gods, or claim to be gods themselves -- a PS atheist would simply doubt that they were actually gods per se, and would be preoccupied with where their power actually comes from and who they really serve. This would preclude worshiping them, of course. I have never had a problem with this interpretation. Its exactly what I would be thinking if some being who called itself Jesus floated down on a cloud and started proselytizing to the human race.
