1. One who does not believe in any gods. There would be nothing wrong with this if most of them didn't fit the second definition.
2. Some know-it-all teenager who pretends to hate religion, but celebrates Christmas because s/he is a greedy hypocrite.

One who has disbelief in any form of a higher being. It is not necessary for an atheist to disprove the existance of a higher being, because those who are not atheists, cannot prove that a higher being exists. Both atheism and religion are based on faith.
Atheist: I don't believe in God.
Non-Atheist: Prove that God doesn't exist!
Atheist: ¡Prove that he/she does exist!
Non-Atheist: Prove that God doesn't exist!

God does not exist! I know this is true, because Santa would not lie to me. If Santa Claus is an atheist, so am I.

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.

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!"

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.
