Syaat:characterization

Characterization seems to be the counterpart to theism. Where the term "sanctity" may refer to a level of life greater than ours, "grace" refers to a level of life milder than ours. I believe that the practice of characterization which is so popular in the arts and in creative writing may be an expression of that type of relationship that is a feasible opposite to the relationship of theism. Of course, villainous characterization is in that same way therefore the opposite of atheism or anti-theism, but when our characters are heroic and helpful and good, they may be thought of in a way that compares well to what affirmative theism is.
