Talk:theist

1662

theism mentions:

"Attested in English from 1678, theist being slightly earlier, 16 years earlier in 1662."

I can't find any 1600s quotes here, does anyone know what this might refer to? If it was attested to in this year, posting that earliest known use seems important. Y12J 23:23, 18 January 2012 (UTC)

The following information has failed Wiktionary's verification process (permalink).

Failure to be verified means that insufficient eligible citations of this usage have been found, and the entry therefore does not meet Wiktionary inclusion criteria at the present time. We have archived here the disputed information, the verification discussion, and any documentation gathered so far, pending further evidence.
Do not re-add this information to the article without also submitting proof that it meets Wiktionary's criteria for inclusion.

I'd like verification for the second meaning, "One who discriminates based on religion.". I've been looking for a word with that meaning. However, I think I've only heard the first meaning for theist. Superm401 04:17, 8 June 2011 (UTC)

Added by an IP here in 2005. Probably nonsense; any other dictionaries have it? Mglovesfun (talk) 22:51, 8 June 2011 (UTC)

I have managed to find one quotation so far. - -sche (discuss) 16:18, 11 August 2011 (UTC)
