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...)

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.

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*

Reporter (Roger I. Sherman): Surely you recognize the equal citizenship and patriotism of Americans who are atheists?
Bush: No, I don't know that atheists should be considered as citizens, nor should they be considered patriots. This is one nation under God.

People that judge every Christian based simply off the actions of people like Fred Phelps. To disprove religion, they often say such witty/original things like, "You believe in God? There's about as much proof for him as the Flying Spaghetti Monster." By the way, I was being sarcastic when saying that that was original. It was obviously stolen from The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins.
Steve: I'm an Atheist. Therefore, I'm much more intelligent than any Christian.
Doug: I don't know. There are some pretty smart Christians.
Steve: No there aren't. Fuck off.
Doug: I don't know. There are some pretty smart Christians.
Steve: No there aren't. Fuck off.
