someone who simply does not believe in god/gods. someone who doesnt need some made up person to make their life worth living. they live for themselves and the people they care about. they are people just like everyone everyone else they just refuse to believe in something that there is no proof of. and who can blame them. i am an atheist and i understand it completely. when we learn about other religions in school (i got to a catholic school ironically enough) they teach us that religions like hinduism were created by the people to get them through the days in their lives. so assuming that historians aren't liars which is questionable but we'll go with it then these people following this so called prophet moses spent 40 years in a desert eating nothing but bread chasing after some peice of land they arent even sure exists. now to me that sounds like the perfect reason to find something to get you through. lets think about it. people get pissy at moses obviously i mean come on its been 40 years so moses tells little white lie and writes these rules that ironically enough outline what it "accepted" by "society" the people who are clearly brainwashed (cause what mororon would go on that trip) think wow this god talked to us and is gonna save us. moses reinforces his little white lie and expands on it with these stories about this almighty being of his. they tell their kids and those people tell their kids and so on. then one day 4 of them decide to write it down. BOOM! may i introdice you to THE BIBLE. its makes perfectally logical sense. so let us be. at least we aren't dependant on some being we know nothing about other then what some book that just appeared one day tells us. if god is so real then why is the world like it is. free will you say ? no such thing. every action you take it influenced by something be it your surroundings or something someone said or hell what your "god" thinks is ok. no one makes a choice entirely without influence. there is no such thing as free will or "god" wouldnt have sent moses those rules. god is a figment of imagination that people use as something to fall back on. be independant dont let what people and some book tells you is ok rule you life. live for yourself not god.

An atheist is someone who does not believe in a deity or god. Some can be arrogant however others generally don't care. (Note, stop being biased on this article Athiests and Theists.)
Theist:Do you think some of the Athiests on Urban Dictionary are biased?
Atheist: No, you aren't either though because you aren't a bad person trying to convert people and being intolerant. Instead you acctualy help people, like at the soup kitchen.

A person who holds a positive religious belief in a spontaneous, causeless, sourceless, purposeless and objectively meaningless existence.
Existentially, they often believe that at the origin of the Universe there was nothing, and that nothing exploded - creating everything; before a bunch of everything magically rearranged itself, for no reason whatsoever, into inexplicably self-replicating parts, which eventually developed into intelligent beings with inexplicable (or at least incomprehensible) capacities for reason, ethical judgement and aesthetic awareness...
As Xenocrates stated; “Without proof, belief is still belief – even if you believe in nothing.”

Someone who doesn’t believe in a higher power or god-like figure. Atheists are often unfairly stereotyped because they don’t believe in the same things as religious people. In fact, atheists are some of the most tolerant people out there. You see Christians hating on atheists and claiming it’s because they “follow the path of the devil”. How many Christians do you know that cuss? I’m an atheist, and I have never uttered a curse word in my entire life. Please stop this unfair hatred. I’m just believing in what I think is true, just like you.
Religious person: “You’re a (curse word) atheist? You must be a (curse word) terrible person”
Me: “At least I’m not cussing at you because you aren’t an atheist”
Me: “At least I’m not cussing at you because you aren’t an atheist”
