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....

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 follower of atheism, a nontheism religion (lack of). atheists do not believe in God or gods. usually they are strong supporters of science, humanism, skepticism and do good deeds, but not out of fear like christians (hell).

An individual who acknowledges religion but doesn't practice or believe in any god, afterlife or higher power.
There are two types of Atheists. Those that hate god and religion as a form of rebellion and believe in disbelief only temporarily until they feel they've gotten their ammount of justice. Then there are those atheists that respect others beliefs and feel that everyone is entitled to their own opinion until the time of death.

In the face of zero objective evidence for the existence of any supernatural entity (indeed, it is impossible to objectively prove the existence of any supernatural entity, hence the term "faith"), an atheist is one who rationally concludes that until/unless objective evidence of such a supernatural entity (at which point it would be arguable that such an entity would no longer be considered supernatural) appears, the only logical stance to take is to not assume that any such entities exist.
