Either 1) a lack of belief in god/supernatural being due to lack of evidence (weak evidence=agnosticism), or 2) denial of the existance of god/supernatural being. Despite some definitions listed here, atheism does not in its-self attack a single other religion-it is simply a lack of belief in a god. Some might be Satanist-which is by definition not atheism as it requires unfounded faith in a supernatural being ('Satan'); science, in most accepted definitions by scientists, involves testing and falsifying or corroborating of an idea, not stating "fact", and a claim to a supernatural being/god/God is not testable by purely scientific methods.
I agree with atheism because there is no credible evidence for God-only faith in texts that are open to interpretation.

The belief that there was nothing, and nothing happened to nothing and then nothing magically exploded for no reason, creating everything, and then a bunch of everything magically rearranged itself for no reason whatsoever into self-replicating bits which then turned into dinosaurs.
Unless you are an expert in religion, atheism makes no sense.

1) The belief that god does not exist, or a severe lack of faith in god. The advent of modern science and technology has slowly ebbed away at the belief god created everything, and has been on the rise since the mid 20th Century.
Once I believed in god, but the state of the world and new technology has made me look at this, and now, I have converted to Atheism.

The belief that everything in the universe, all we see and all we have yet to see is the creation (by-product) of random acts of coincidence with foundations solely in pure science and rationale mixed with generous doses of cause and effect and trial and error.
True atheists do not believe in any form of God, or God related creation, including any form of morale standard that would indicate the existence of right versus wrong. Although atheists may one day be able to explain all matters and conditions of the universe, they will never be able to rationalize questions like: Why is there a universe? Why does it go on as it does? or Has it any meaning? (see C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity)
True atheists also agree that belief in pure science and a belief in God cannot be reconciled. Although many of history's greatest scientists (Einstein), inventors (Benjamin Franklin) and mathematicians (Blaise Pascal) were believers in God. See example below.
Einstein is probably the best known and most highly revered scientist of the twentieth century, and is associated with major revolutions in our thinking about time, gravity, and the conversion of matter to energy (E=mc2). Although never coming to belief in a personal God, he recognized the impossibility of a non-created universe. The Encyclopedia Britannica says of him: "Firmly denying atheism, Einstein expressed a belief in "Spinoza's God who reveals himself in the harmony of what exists." This actually motivated his interest in science, as he once remarked to a young physicist: "I want to know how God created this world, I am not interested in this or that phenomenon, in the spectrum of this or that element. I want to know His thoughts, the rest are details." Einstein's famous epithet on the "uncertainty principle" was "God does not play dice" - and to him this was a real statement about a God in whom he believed. A famous saying of his was "Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind."
