Atheisticalness

/ˌeɪθiˈɪstɪkəlnəs/ noun

Definition

The quality or state of being atheistical; the characteristic of relating to or being atheistic in nature.

Etymology

From 'atheistical' + '-ness,' which forms abstract nouns describing qualities. This compound creates a rarely-used term for the abstract concept of atheism's essence.

Kelly Says

Early English philosophers struggled to describe the concept of 'atheisticalness' because they had no modern framework—they were trying to label something their society considered almost unthinkable!
