Theist and atheist: the fight between them is as to whether

Summary

This quote suggests that the disagreement between theists and atheists is ultimately about the semantics of how we refer to God, rather than the existence of a higher power. Theists advocate for using the term "God," while atheists prefer alternative names or no label at all. It implies that the two sides argue about nomenclature rather than engaging in deeper discussions about belief systems or the concept of divinity itself.
