So, for example, if I wanted to say "Fred believes in the existence of a god" or "Bert thinks he can prove the non-existence of gods", is there a single word you can use in each case, so you could say "Fred believes in XXXX" or "Bert thinks he can prove YYYY"?

Theism and atheism don't work because they refer to the *belief* in gods, or lack of it, not the existence or non-existence of gods themselves.

Are you looking for theism and atheism?

There can't be a word for the existence of something that only exists as a belief or concept.
The only gods and goddess's are in peoples heads. Try reality.

I guess you could say, "Fred believes in monotheism, and Bert believes in atheism".

im not trying to sound sarcastic. but if you say "i believe in God" then in a sense you believe that God exists. and if you say "i dont believe in god or gods" then you dont beleive they exist? do you follow me?
