Someone who refuses to bow to the alleged power of any alleged supernatural entity, however great that power is alleged to be. One of a group of people far wiser and more common than they are usually given credit for. Someone who thinks in terms of reason rather than fear. In particular, someone who refuses to let their perfectly natural fear of death overwhelm their reason. Someone who accepts that even if there were a god worth worshipping, which cannot be proved, the divinity would be worth worshipping precisely because it supports or represents such things as justice, truth, love and compassion, which are universal human ideals and are not, contrary to the propaganda, derived from any religion. Someone who accepts that, as guides to the good life, such ideals therefore come before all else. A humanist. Atheists are often accused, by religionists who have found support in postmodernist relativism, that atheism is a religion like any other. If anorexia could be considered a favourite food, these postmodernist types might have a point ... but I'm doubting it.
Someone once said there are no atheists in foxholes. Firstly, oh yes there are: and secondly, even if it were true, that would be more an argument against foxholes than against atheism.

A person intelligent enough to know that not one being created all that surrounds us. A person who doesn't pray to some unfathomable creature, in hopes that everything will be made better. Atheists do not have religion because it seems that it is only a CRUTCH for those who are weak minded.
Religion is a crutch for those who are weak minded, an ATHEIST relies on their own mind alone.

Atheist do not need religion to feel good about themselves

A person who, unlike religious people, don't have imaginary friends (like Jesus).
A: Hey, look at that religious person, he makes-believe every day!
B: I know, that's kinda weird
A: Obviously the world wasn't created in 7 days. And if there was a God why are so many African children dying?
B: Yeah, atheists are so smart.

A person who does not believe that a "god" or supreme being exists. And, although often forgotten, this does include not beliving Satan, also. So, no, we're not Gothic; we just don't have a preference. Some Atheist people may sound arrogant to you, but it is just that they are having trouble understanding why you belive in god, and you are having trouble understanding they don't. They usually don't make a big deal of it, unless you offend them just because you belive otherwise. This is not to be confused with being agnostic, which is a person who is not sure whether a supreme being exists or not.

In the United States this is typically someone who started out as a pushy judgmental Christian, surrounded themselves with other pushy judgmental Christians, then realized that God is not compatible with being pushy and judgmental and threw the God part out of their life instead of the pushy judgmental part.
You Christians are all pushy and judgmental, I would know because I used to be one. ... When are you going to realize the Bible is a myth, you moron?

A person who doesn't believe in a deity.

Oh, and also generally a rude, arrogant, bitter asshole who constantly belittles those of faith, probably because a Christian beat him up in 1st grade and took his lunch money. Yeah I know not all atheists are like this, just 99%. According to atheists, simply because they believe something makes it fact, and anyone who disagrees with them is a worthless imbecile.

Most of them spend an inordinate amount of time on the internet railing against something they supposedly deny exists, and subsequently cry and whine about people not tolerating their beliefs and "forcing" them on them, which hardly ever happens. Most atheists wouldn't have the balls to talk half the shit they do online in real life...that is, assuming they could leave their mom's basement.

Furthermore, they blame every problem of the world on religion. Columbine was caused by religion, polio was caused by religion, the Cubs losing is caused by religion, stubbing their toe is caused by religion, so on and so forth.

Also, though they constantly claim that all theists are retarded, delusional, ignorant, stupid, etc., they seem to spend all of their time hating on Christianity.

It's an eternal mystery how atheists can't figure out why nobody likes them when they are perpetual assholes to everyone else.
Picture a $100 bill in the middle of an intersection. One side has an open-minded, tolerant, non-hateful atheist. Another has an angry, rude, elitist prick atheist. Then there's Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny. Who gets to the $100 bill first?

Answer: The angry, rude, elitist prick atheist. Why? Because the other ones DON'T FUCKING EXIST!
