You lay out, as I see it, the following argument:
P1: It is rational to believe that nonphysical entities do not exist.
P2: States are nonphysical entities.
C1: It is rational to believe that states do not exist.
Is this correct? Sir ℱ℧ℤℤϒℂᗩℑᑭƠℑᗩℑƠ (talk/stalk) 02:54, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

You cover Statism, and Statetheism as you put it, very thoroughly....but what about Agnostatism? What if I'm just not sure there's a state, but there might be? Or Ignostatism? I don't think you've defined "state" well enough to decide whether exists or not, since it has a unique meaning from person to person. Trick (talk) 12:52, 23 March 2015 (UTC)
