Void was commenting on belief, and belief is not a fact in and of itself. The statement, "It is a fact that Phil112 believes in God," is not evidence for God, but it may be evidence that Phil112 believes in God, if Cycel's knowledge about Phil112 can be trusted as accurate. Personally, I don't know whether I would trust Cycel to have accurate knowledge concerning Phil112's personal beliefs. 
My understanding is that the components are from the Greek: a and theist. A means without and theist means god; so atheist means without god.
No. Theist simply means one who believes in a god or gods. If you wished to know what kind of god the theist believed in you would have to inquire. Knowing an individual is a theist provides no information at all except to inform that the person in question believes in a deity of some sort. Similarly, knowing that a person is an atheist provides no additional information about what that person believes.
A theist might believe anything that people are known to believe regarding any given number of deities. Or, a theist might even believe something that is entirely unique to themselves. There is no way to know. The terms theism and atheism provide only the bare bones knowledge of whether or not the individual accepts the existence of a deity of some sort.

John 3:8 The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear its sound, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes. So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit."
John 3:12 If I have told you earthly things and you do not believe, how can you believe if I tell you heavenly things?
The proof is available for those who will believe.
A couple of years ago I watched a science program about predicting the weather. One scientist talked about how the wind played a major role in determining what the weather would do, and how science had tried to determine the origins of wind in order to better predict the weather.
He spoke about how they found that, the origins of the wind was so infinite and miniscule that they had determined that with today's technology and scientific wisdom, we would never be able to determine the origins of wind.
I found that very interesting in light of what a shepherd said over two thousand years ago.
That is just one example of proof that no atheist will accept, but it is proof non-the-less. There are thousands of other like examples and although they are no more proof their volume is additional proof in of itself.
Then there is the ten good men rule, accepted by every law court in the developed world.
Under that rule, God's existence could be proven in any court in the developed world, if that court would hear such a case.

The ideology of atheists is similar to be ideology of satanists in fact they directly worship Satan for his biggest deception was to have everyone believe that the creator of all living things does not exist. Evolution was created to discredit the creator which is a total disrespect to the father because we were all created to serve him and that Satan who rebelled against him wants everyone else to rebel by which he create a system and crises to try to prove that the Most High does not against or very evil because a majority of people only perceive the father as an all loving God. In fact, the Most high has the same characteristics as man, since man is created in his image, however he is PERFECT in his ways. He is also a God of war and wrath against the evil, he is merciful, enduring, forgiving, jealous when we choose to credit a nonliving god or man over the one who created all, and so because many do not know who really God is all about, Satan causes crises to causes people to lose faith and not believe because they do not understand the Father's ultimate purpose.
