An Atheist who is deliberately angry at all religious people for no legitimate reason. An Angry Atheist will often write books, create YouTube videos, or film documentaries with the purpose of destroying others' religious beliefs. An Angry Atheist will pretend to have the authority of science and history on their side, but will immediately reject any science or history that supports the claims of a given religion, with the accusation that it is "biased" or "un-intellectual".
Oftentimes, the Angry Atheist has been brought up with a religious mindset (usually Christian) which he/she has abandoned for intellectual/emotional reasons. But the painful feeling of having been raised on "lies" and "fairy-tales" has left the person very bitter toward all religions and religious people. And therefore, the Angry Atheist will essentially pick fights for philosophical vengeance, targeting religious laypeople and often avoiding debates with intelligent religious leaders capable of destroying their arguments.
An unfortunate side-effect of this out-going hostility, is that religious people will often attribute the attitudes of this minority to all Atheists, causing a negative stereotype to be formed.
Some examples of Angry Atheists include Richard Dawkins (author of The God Delusion), Sam Harris (author of The End of Faith), Friedrich Nietzsche (Atheist Existentialist who was the first to suggest that, "God is Dead"), and Brian Flemming (filmmaker behind The God Who Wasn't There documentary).

An atheist that combats religion as zealously as evangelicals thrust their religious beliefs on others.
I was talking to a co-worker about an episode of Mysteries of the Bible on National Geographic and this Evangelical Atheist jumped into our conversation telling us that we believed in a Spaghetti Monster God.

A term used by atheists online to ridicule the idea that there is such a thing as a "New Atheist." Its origins are variously attributed to Ophelia Benson, Jerry Coyne and PZ Myers.
Those Gnu Atheists are so militant in their hatred of religion!

One of the lowest, vilest, most despicable forms of life in the known universe. Reddit atheists are a subspecies of human that are believed to have genetically diverged around the beginning of 2008.
The population of Reddit atheists is growing, and is currently around 2.7 million. Reddit atheists have developed highly odd traits, such as: a tendency to consistently ridicule christianity, christians, make absurd claims about christianity and sometimes religion as a whole. Although Reddit atheists claim to simply be non-religious, it would be more apt to describe them as anti-christian, as (despite the fact that they claim to not allow religion to rule their life) it's the only thing they ever talk or think about.
When encountering a Reddit atheist, it is best to simply immediately leave to prevent any possible brain damage that may be incurred as a result of their activities, and remember to call animal control to have the beast handled by the proper authorities.
Reddit atheist: DiD yOu KnOw ThAt ReLiGiOn iS tHe sOuRcE oF aLL eViL??
Human: Yeah, sure man. Whatever you say.
Human (whispering to other human): Call the fucking cops before this thing burns down a church.

The belief that one will never get laid.
Person 1: What's your sexual orientation?
Person 2: I'm a sexual atheist.
Person 1: What's that?
Person 2: I don't think I'll ever have sex.

Not all forms of Buddhism denny the existence of Gods, heavens, hells, re-incarnation, or other supernatural experiences. Atheist Buddhism emphasizes the parts of Siddhartha Gautama's teaching that emphasized focusing on compassion and effectiveness in this world for this world. Further, for the Atheist Buddhist, unlike many Atheist Westerners, the highest quality of life, or enlightenment, comes not from glorifying the self but by doing things that allow us to transcend ourselves to where we realize the self is an illusion and the barrier between "I" and "reality" disappears. When you are truly in the moment, in that "just do it" mindset, we do not know or care about the past or future, but just "are we doing the compassionate and effective thing right now?"
Not every Buddhist practices an atheist buddhism. Some believe in re-incarnation and some believe in a heaven/hell structure.

A vlogger on YouTube by the name of Teroja Kincaid (or TJ), a liberal atheist who frequently rants about politics, religion and even the slightest things that irritate him. He has well-known videos speaking out on Christian ideology, censorship and current world events.
The Amazing Atheist is funnier than Fred and his stupid munchkin voice any day of the week.
