A lack of belief or faith in the existence of a god or gods, especcially, a belief that there is no god. Atheism is a belief which is often insulted unjustly by its opponents. Atheists are also often called Satanists by Christian fundamentalists who do not understand the beliefs of Satanism. Believers in atheism have been blamed for events such as the 9/11 suicide attacks on the "Twin Towers" in New York, New York, United States of America by such people as Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson.

Quite simply put; someone who lacks a god belief. This could be the absence of said god in mind, or lack of faith. Just like members of any group, some of us are overzealous or so ignorant we fail to realize the purpose of any source of morales. Do not judge eachother based on prejudice. Do not seek to find flaws in eachother's beliefs but instead seek enlightenment through yours. Love everything.
I follow Gandhi and Gora's positive atheism. I am not a satanist.
I see everyone here in ignorant conflict, and it's just sad. We're here to define words and not start bitter arguements.

The belief that a god or more than one god does not exist. Atheists believe in facts that are proven to be true and tend to lean toward science for answers. They believe things happen in the absolute literal sense and not in the spiritual sense.
Person 1: Why did bad things happen to good people?
Person 2: Bad things happen to everybody good and bad people. Even though it may seem like good people have worse luck bad people have just as bad. Which is why I believe in atheism
Person 3: I am Catholic so I believe the lord Jesus Christ is our savior and there is Heaven and Hell
Person 4: I don't believe in god but I accept your religion and will not make fun.
Person 3: Thank you and I accept your belief even though ignorant people of my religion may not accept your belief

Oh, jeez. What is it with you people?
Atheism (the REAL definition) - A belief centered around a person not believing in a God or "blind faith". That's it. This doesn't mean they are immoral, pessimistic, evil, Christ-haters, Christian-haters, gamblers, racist, slutty, Bible-destroyers, demons, ignorant or whatever.
Just because they have different beliefs than some doesn't make them wrong OR right. Nobody in this world is wrong OR right about their religion or lack thereof, because there is no proof for ANY of it. People believe what they believe, end of story.
Now, SOME atheists may be evil and argumentative as fuck, but that doesn't mean they all are. And it doesn't mean that some don't like the IDEA of an afterlife, they just can't comprehend that there would be one. This is just how their brain works. To those who believe, God created us all, right? He created those who would follow a religion that's been around since people believed the sun rotated around the earth, and he created those who wouldn't believe in such an idea.
Also, atheists ARE real, and their belief isn't necessarily a phase, or coming from angsty teenagers. The most optimistic, intelligent and helpful adult I know happens to be an atheist.
I just think you Bible-thumpers are being silly and childish. If people want to believe in God, or don't want to believe in God, it's really nobody else's buisiness.
Rant over.
Atheist one: I love life! I may have to die someday and afterlife seems unlikely to me, but I have come to terms with that and I'm determined to enjoy the time I have left.
Atheist two: I hate Christians, grr. They are incorrect and I will get constipated if I don't correct every theist I see. I burn Bibles in my front lawn and I point and laugh at nuns.
Atheist three: I'm just an average Joe. I don't care if you believe in atheism or theism, I'm just living my life.

The difference between satanism and atheism: Satanism is a religion, Atheism is the lack of religion. It shocks me how so many people on here have mistaken the two. And just because someone is atheist doesn't mean they are so because they believe in science alone.
I am atheist because there are things in the Bible that I don't agree with, such as its take on homosexuality. I also want to be able to read whatever I want, including stuff that may have so-called "witchcraft" in it.
Atheism.

either the belief that there is no god, or the belief that humanity doesn't know enough to make assumptions that lean in any particular direction. not to be confused with satanism which is in fact a religion. atheism is NOT a religion but a lack thereof.
billions of people have died in history by people killing in the name of various gods or religions.
atheism is a bit less violent in most situations, dont you think?

Atheism is not exactly a religion. It is not synonymous with satanism at all, in fact, atheists reject him as well. Atheists can be crazed and apprehensive a la christian fanatics, but nowhere did I say every atheist can be like that. It's common for them to follow science because it seems more logical to them. The inverse applies to some christians as well. Last, but most important, most atheists ARE NOT EVIL.
Atheist: I'm an atheist.
Crazed Christian: You horrible, horrible scum! You and your demonic kind are killing millions with your atheism lies!
Okay Christian: Calm down. He never hurt anybody. You did. Remember last year at that atheist support festival?
Crazed Christian: (fleeing) You'll all burn forever! Gagh!
