A nontheist is someone who does not believe in God or gods. According to the construction of the words, atheist and nontheist mean exactly the same thing. Theists believe in God. The prefixes a- and non- are both negators; therefore, a-theists and non-theists share disbelief in God. However, language is dynamic, and the connotations of certain words tend to change over time. The term nontheist is relatively new and is coming into use as a reaction to the connotation that the word atheist is developing in modern usage.
