Especially when that gang of pulp villains running Germany took the intellectually fashionable ideas of Eugenics, mixed thoroughly with a variant of Social Darwinism redefining “survival of the fittest” as being between Races instead of individuals, and acted on it as far as they could push it.

I would say that you are “on” to something in regard to the difference between “naturalism” and “atheism”. In a sense you are looking at two sides of the same coin. Generally speaking, we are all believers. A theist BELIEVES that “there is a personal-infinite God, (i.e. God exists). There is both uncreated reality (God) and created reality (nature). An atheists BELIEVES that “there is no (“A” from Greek, meaning ‘no”) personal-infinite God. The other side of the coin for an atheist is that he/she BELIEVES that there is something that is REAL. That real is nature, and there is nothing but nature. Nature is the whole story, period.

So you are correct. “Atheism” is the word to describe the negative side of the coin. “Naturalism” is the word to describe the positive side of the same coin.
