Can an atheist become enlightened without becoming a theist?

Synthesized from Source definition

"True theism is not about believing in a separate God, but awakening to the divinity that permeates all existence. An atheist can achieve enlightenment by realizing the godliness within and around them."

You don’t need to believe in a god in the sky—just wake up to the living aliveness in and around you.
Why this matters practically
- Shifts focus from beliefs to direct awareness and experience.
- Lowers dogmatic conflict by seeing the same essence in all beings.
- Encourages inner awakening practices over theological debate.
