Note
A plural for a noun that usually resists counting. Atheism is ordinarily a mass noun, and the -s turns it into a count of kinds. Each atheism becomes a distinct position or school, as when Thomas Molnar, in Theists and Atheists (1980), sets apart "two reductionist atheisms: materialism and humanism." Use the plural when comparing varieties of disbelief. For the stance in general, the singular without an article is the natural choice.
