Atheism, in its broadest sense, is a lack of belief in a deity or deities. The opposite of theism, this broad definition encompasses both people who assert that there are no gods and those who make no claim about whether gods exist or not. Narrower definitions of atheism typically include only those who assert the nonexistence of gods, excluding non-believing agnostics and other non-theists. it is the burden of the believer to support his or her belief, not the other way around.
A strong believer in reality. What is there is there. And what isn't must be some good drugs or mental illness. Atheists believe that Scientific method should be used for deduction of fact. a set of false positives and true natural thought should prove that talking to air or dirt or trees on fire do not make you a prophet.
Be happy with life on this plane of exsitence. hope in more, or gifts rained down from above is greed.
Jerry Falwell: you unclean godless sinners will all go to hell!
Atheist: Ahem, No, Jerry. Your belief in hell, however strong does not make it real. If God is so great, why are all of his Christian Church leaders touching young boys? Oh Jerry, you are a Church leader, are you touching little boys?
Your belief in ghosts & goblins does not make it so. Ever notice how the words Church and crutch sound so similar? To the average exchange student they do not hear a difference when hearing English.

Either:
1) Someone who doesn't believe a god exists, but does not interfere with others' beliefs.
2)An elitist faggot who attacks other's beliefs, and saying they have a right to, but will bitch when anybody attacks theirs. Almost a scientologist. Will get extremely butthurt when you say "How did the universe begin? And unexplained explosion out of nowhere". Also are extreme grammar nazis, and newfags. Most common of these type of Atheists are 13-19 year-old pot smokers who troll 4chan.
They also like writing long unrelated paragraphs, and when you say "TLDR" they rage.
First Type of Atheist:
"How did the universe begin?"
"I'm an atheist, so I don't care."
Second Type:
"How did the universe begin?"
"Hurr durr Bing Bang theory!"
"So an unexplained explosion came out of nowhere, and made gases?"
"You believe in a magic wizard man hurr durr derp"
"And that was a rebuttle how?"
"Liek where's your proof faggot?"
"Where's yours?"
"FFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUU"

Someone who doesn't believe in any gods, or strongly believes that there is no such thing as a divine being or god.
I contend that we are both atheist. I just belive in one fewer god than you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours.

An atheist is a person who does not believe in the existence of *ANY* god(s). This term is consistently misused in modern society.
- Refusing to worship God doesn't make one an atheist. If one says things like "well God lets this stuff happen, so I don't believe in him...," it demonstrates that one does believe in God, they just choose not to follow him.
- Many self-proclaimed "atheists" actually hate God. Since it is illogical to hate something you profess does not exist, people who hate God cannot by definition be atheists. If your attitude is "well God lets this happen, so screw Him..." then you're not an atheist.
- People who "don't believe in Jesus" aren't atheists, they're just not Christians. Jews don't believe in Jesus either, that doesn't make them atheists.
- People who say "I'll find out when I get there" aren't atheists, they're agnostics.
- People who join a "National Organization of Atheists" are not atheists; if you don't believe something exists, you don't make a society dedicated to not believing it exists. That's nonsense.
There are very few true atheists in the world. Most "atheists" are actually just people with an axe to grind with God.

Someone who says with their mouth that they have no god, but with their actions and attitude they worship themselves and thinks that anyone who disagrees is a complete moron.
Altough athiests love to shove the fact that "athiest" technically means without any god, the fact of the matter is that atheist worship themselves.

One who has found that all of the religions known (including atheism) have no evidence and that the effort put into any other religion is not worth the minute posibility that it may save their soul.
I could spend 2 hours a week worshiping God, and if i did pick the 0.0001% chance that it was the right religion then i still cannot do all the self-contradicting things the Bible asks

One who won't go to the trouble to investigate that which is easily understandable when thoroughly researched and tested.
John: "Why are you an atheist?"
Justin: "I tried praying for a million dollars but never got it!"
John: "That's not the way it works - Read the scriptures and learn."
Justin: Awww... I don't have time for that crap! Besides, I'm reading 'The Da Vinci Code'!
