Totally right. Worse again though, there is a lesser known term "gnostic atheist", but it doesn't quite mean "a spiritual believer in the absence of a god", nor any other straightforward guess.
Technology makes everything cheaper, including changing minds.
At some points it was unfeasible to abuse consumers because they'd object. Now, if it's on a large enough scale and valuable enough, you can just pay to convince the majority of them that it's fine.
True enough, but even still I don't see that "gnostic atheism" is obviously the opposite of "agnostic atheism". In any case it's not what I claimed. The terminology is confusing and I was hoping to be helpful, although I see now I was far too glib.
Edit: they certainly look like they're opposites, but just like deontology and ontology aren't opposites, these two words are just awkwardly related. See e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gnosticism which is not just "believing in a god". I'd say a proper antonym for atheism is theism/deism.
