1) A person who does not believe in any sort of deity or "God" but accepts that others do.
2) An elitist who like to mock anyone that disagrees with them, particularly christians.
In case 2 what's disturbing is the utter contempt, disrespect, and intolerance (and in some cases, hatred) these people have for anyone that disagrees with them. They refuse to go by the principles of live-and-let-live and do-unto-others. They will counter this assertion by arguing that religious people never live-and-let-live and are always forcing religion onto people. This is of course false, and only applies to a very small minority of religious people (such as the nutjobs at the WBC) and thus is a prime example of smearing people with a vastly over-generalized statement.
Most won't admit it, but they resent the fact that most modern nations allow freedom of religion for all. Ultimately, they would like to see this right taken away someday.

Get the atheist mug.An atheist may say, "If there is a God, we would have figured Him out by now. But we haven't, so, logically, there must not be one."
A God-fearing Christian may say, "I may not see, understand, or sometimes find You, but I trust You are there because You promised."
"Little round planet in a big universe, sometimes it looked blessed, sometimes it looks cursed. Depends on what you look at, obviously, but even more it depends on the way that you see." Bruce Cockburn

Get the Atheist mug.One who lacks a belief in god or gods. This lack of belief may manifest either as strong atheism (i.e., the positive position that there is no god) or in weak atheism (i.e., the position that current concepts of god make no sense or are irrelevant and thus it is unreasonable to believe in god).
"As an atheist, Harry never worries about What Jesus Would Do in any situation any more than he worries what Santa Claus Would Do."

Get the atheist mug.A person who doesn't believe in god. Someone who doesn't believe that there is a heaven or hell. Close to an agnostic, who doesn't believe that either (god or darwinism) can be proven or disproven.

Get the Atheist mug.1. A person who does not believe in a deity or God.
(In extreme cases, it is also a person who criticizes others for believing "fairy tales" from the Bible. These people are not atheists, as they would have you think, but elitists, and should be given a severe beating.)
