People whom use their intelligence to realise that just because a (very average) man was nailed to a cross two thousand and nine years ago, does not mean that there is a "higher power" or "God" that controls every aspect of human life and the planet we live in.
common sense.
Atheists make up their own minds about religion and don't believe in a God just because their parents told them to when they were young.

an atheist, by definition, is "Somebody who denies/doesn't believe in any type of 'god'" most people get the misconception that ALL atheists satanists, most atheists don't even BELIEVE in the devil. It's also rather annoying when people go around trying to convert others to their religion, TELLING them what to believe.
"man, you're going to hell! Start believenin' Jesus!"
"um... i thought only "God" could decide whether somebody goes to "hell" or not?"
"whatever..."

No belief or disbelief is required. Atheist is certainly not a belief system. There are many valid reasons for rejecting the theist claim. The lack of evidence to support their claim is only one of them.

Someone who isn't stupid enough, or gullible enough, to believe in magic, or silly creation myths, especially those of certain ancient, backwater desert tribes.
"At my bible study we were studying Genesis and how God created the Earth and the heavens in 7 days."
"Thats just fucking stupid, i'm an atheist, now get the fuck of my porch."

One who believes in no god or diety of any kind save for human beings themselves who, in theory, actually created god using thier imagination.
One who is evolved.
An advanced human being.
One who has thrown away primitive beliefs
A person who's goal in life is to destroy other's beliefs in gods. In the end, this proves futile and leaves the would be "atheist" in a state of confusion. This is NOT the true nature of an authentic atheist.
In general, atheists tend to be much less combative then those who believe in a god. When provoked, they will fight back, but never really be able to prove thier point. This is very similiar to a theist.
