An atheist is someone who is not a theist. That's all that atheism implies.

Atheists are NOT communist.
Atheists do not avert their eyes when they see a church.
Atheists do not all have poor relations with their parents.
Athesits do not all hate Christians.

I am an atheist. Yet I go to a Catholic College.

Atheist 

Someone who tolerantly reads all the facile preceding definitions on this site with a smile, because he knows that the same lack of education that led to the appalling typos also led to the basic misunderstandings of the word 'Atheist'.

"Wow, atheists seem to annoy a lot of Christians. Guess they can't be real Christians if they're so violent and intolerant!"

Atheist 

Any person clever enough to take a stand against inconsistent religious theories and practices and instead live their life independently from alleged divine authority figures and lifestyles which enforce unjustified regulations upon their existence. Atheists generally believe that there is no god- although reasons for this choice of opinion differ, many revolve around logical thinking and lack of scientific proof, which concludes that no such being exists. Just because someone is an atheist does not mean that they do not want to believe in god... it just means that there is no realistic evidence to support any claims of god's existence- and therefore no reason to believe in god itself.

An atheist is a person of logic and sense, independent of religion and it's customs.

atheist 

A person who does not believe in a supreme being. Most of these may be classified under the following definitions:

1) Aggressive atheist: attacks other religions and is often intolerant to the follower of other religions. Often brings up the insensitive fact that faith is the "complete acceptance of a God without proof," somewhat equatable to ignorance, which, among other things, is the "complete acceptance of an idea without proof."

2) Passive/Tolerant atheist: does not believe in a supreme being but accepts that others do. Does not usually bring up the above fact unless attacked for being an atheist.

Not to be confused with taoism or confucianism, which are philosphies and do not mention gods or the afterlife. Atheism is a state of nonbelief. One can be a Taoist Atheist, which would be a person who seeks to understand and learn from nature and does not believe in a god.

1) "Hahahaha! You believe in a God! You're one stupid fucker!" (Bad way to be an atheist)

2) "You're a Southern Baptist? That's cool. I'm an atheist. Please don't shoot me. I'm not criticizing you... no! STOP! PLEASE! I'M NOT INSULTING YOU!" (Good way to be an atheist... or... maybe not...)

atheist 

One who does not have imaginary friends.

My friend just spent an hour and a half trying to communicate with his imaginary friend whom he thinks can somehow help him get laid. Poor bastard. Should be an atheist.

atheist 

A group of people who simply don't believe in gods or goddesses. Also, they have to take alot of shit from some of us Christians who always push our religion on them. I'm Christian but I have some Athiest friends that are always confronted by some overly-religious Christian girl trying to make them believe in God and think by doing that it makes them a good person even though all they're doing is wasting their breath and annoying the fuck out people.

Atheist:*minding her own business*
Christian1:Oh my gosh! You don't believe in God!?
Christian2:If you don't, you're going to Hell!
Christian3:Yeah! If you don't become a Christian we're going to spread horrible lies about you and hate you for not believing in God!
Atheist:...*is to overwhelmed to say anything*
