I'm confused as to why people get so agressive about this sort of thing. One of the reasons I'm atheist is so that I am free from living my life as a slave to "faiths" that are blind and force-fed to millions.
So, for the religious: stop condemning everyone that disagrees with you. I think it's selfish for many born-into-religion people to automatically assume that out of the thousands of faiths they could have possibly just ASSUME that they have the "right" one.
For the atheists: Don't put out another stereotype for the rest of us to deal with.
Someone else, feel free to convince me why on earth I would ever need faith, except as a security blanket that supplements the lack of personal and mental strength I have as a human being?

You say it's weakness to be atheist, not to be able to "understand" complex concepts about the creation of the universe.
I say, I'm not going to spend my life searching for the meaning of life and instead will go live it, hopefully finding happiness and doing something good for the world.

I believe an atheist is a person who does not believe in God or any gods what so ever. I myself am an atheist so I know the term pretty well. I think some Christians get it mixed up that atheists are satanists or evil forms worshipping the devil. They believe that it's horrible and we're against them. Let me clear this up. An atheist isn't against the Christian church. We simply just DON'T AGREE. I don't mean to attack the church in anyway. But what I find funny is that Christians like to "attack" me. Many find it hard to believe I'm a non-believer so they insult me. And oh yeah, you can't be an atheist AND a Christain. There is no go between. Let me tell this to the weak: IF YOU WANT TO BE AN ATHEIST YOU MUST BE READY TO COMMITT. YOU CAN'T LIKE BOTH AND YOU NEED BE SURE OF WHAT YOU'RE DOING. TO BE AN ATHEIST ACTUALLY TAKES A LOT OF DEVOTION AND PERSERVERANCE. (many people will be against you)
I myself am an atheist and most of my friends give me a hard time. "OH MY GOSH, EMMA! THAT'S SO HORRIBLE! I MUST BRING YOU TO CHURCH TO CHANGE YOUR VIEWS!" It's hard being an atheist, I'll tell you that. But I passionately agree with what I stand for so I won't back down. The ironic thing is I don't find problems with jews, only christians....

People who have a lack of a belief in God (s). Their beliefs are based on evidence, facts and reason. Peaceful and not delusional. Don't go by faith.

It's where you're doing a girl from behind and attempt to read a copy of The God Delusion.
Boner points if the bird being shagged is a devout Muslim/Catholic/Evangelical/Jew. Double boner points if it's the hardback edition. Epic boner points if you get through a whole chapter.

So I was doing my fundy girlfriend from behind, and I decided it was time to pull The Atheist on her. I read for a paragraph and a half before she realized what was going on!

A person who is strong enough that they have come to their own conclusions about religion. These people do not just jump on the bandwagon and believe what everybody else tells them. Many people think that atheists are ungodly and sinners, but are in truth just normal people who have their own beliefs. Saying that an atheist is a sinner or an ungodly person is racism as well and is no better than saying that Jewish people or Islamic people are evil. And it is a common stereotype to say that all atheists are pompous or know-it-alls, they are just normal people who have come up with their own original thoughts on life.
Yes, I am an atheist. That does not mean that I am an immoral person, it just means that I have different beliefs than the general public.
And I wouldn't be going off on this tangent, but some of the definitions I have seen for this word are unfair and extremely biased.
