Get the atheistmug. 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.

Get the Atheistmug. 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...)

Get the atheistmug. 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.

Get the atheistmug. 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*

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*

Get the atheistmug. v. cool peoplpe who have not been brainwashed by overly powerful christian conservative majorities. people who actually take two seconds to stop and think about how the bible always contradicts itself, how it is the only source of evidence for jesus, and how the existence of god and heaven is a disproved hypothesis that does not fit in with the rules and reasonings of modern science.
ATHEIST 1: Hey, how come all these people believe in God?
ATHEIST 2: Because they're too afraid (*gasp*) to take the reality that we are no better than other humans and that we are alone in this world with only our selves and each other to rely on. No fairytale grandfather in the sky, spirit of a kind but crucified Jew, or "holy spirit" is going to give us anything but baseless confidence.
ATHESIT 1: Oh.
