text: arent christians considered atheists? they denied all the other gods and goddeses didnt they? christians denied other gods because they are monotheistic, meaning they only believe in one god. and since they still believe in at least one god, then that makes christians theists.   the term "atheist" means one who doesn't believe in any gods whatsoever and tries to disprove the existence of any god. christians believe in a god, so that makes them the opposite of an atheist.
