An atheist is a person who does not necessarily believe in the existance of a god, or gods, or supreme beings of some kind. They are often charcterized as uncaring, arrogant, self centered, hateful, depressed, miserable, etc. This is not always the case. A common misconception is that atheists want to kill God, when less then a handful actually desire this.
Atheists are atheists for several reasons. Some feel that God would not allow the world and his children, us to kill eachother and devestate this world as we have, so they feel that such a sick minded being couldn't exist. They don't want to believe that something could be so cruel to let its creations suffer. Some feel that God has simply abandoned us for other worlds and see no reason to worship something that is no longer here. There are also atheists who seek the truth, they neither believe in God, or disbelieve in God. They want to find the truth out there if he is or is not real they simply want to know.
A common misunderstanding is that all atheists are fiercly intolerant of other races and religions. In reality, few atheists are that intolerant. In fact most atheists are more accepting of others than most religious people.
A lot of people choose atheism believing religion is a root of evil, having caused countless wars and billions of deaths for no reason throughout all of time. For the most part, atheists do not try and shove their beliefs onto others, unless someone trys to put their religion and beliefs onto them first

Lance armstrong believes if there was a God he would have two balls. He is an atheist who feels abandoned and hurt.
About 80% of all the wars in human history have been caused by conflicting religious views, not one has been by an atheist.

Get the atheistsmug. A godless person who uses reason and science, rather than divinity, to explain his beliefs. Not to be confused with agnostics. These people can be identified either by how much they know about science, or by how much they burn when you put a match to their skin. Atheists burn like flash paper.
Person 1:That guy over there? He must be an Atheist. Did you see the way he just burned up in flames a few seconds ago?
Person 2:SHH!!! He's not an Atheist! that's part of a practical joke involving lighter fluid!

Get the Atheistmug. Someone who believes in logic, not a mythical all powerful sentient being. Rather than being terrified of the 'unknown', they use science to discover the truth, not relying on story books, for they're information. They do however find it complex to understand how people can base they're lives on basically a hunch, as if you question gods existence by looking for proof, you're not a real believer. Strange.
scientist guy: I'm an atheist
other scientist guy: I'm glad i'm not too stupid to understand science, and have enough common sense to realise that God can't possibly exist.
scientist guy: Yeah, me too

Get the atheistmug. A person who does not believe in god, not related to satanists, muslims, or anyone else christianity hates. Contrary to popular opinion, atheists are not self obsessing narcissists, but are just people who find the idea that by doing certain deeds (going to Church or blowing yourself up) will get you into a magical place where you live in paradise for all eternity
Atheist: "Hey man what's up?"
Religious zealot (not to be confused with normal religious person): "Screw you man, I'll see you in hell, oh wait, no I won't, I'll be in heaven pissing on you."
Atheist: okay....

Get the Atheistmug. People who don't believe in any religion. Some Atheists are just nice people who have just never found a reason to believe in a religion but others are douchebags who just because they don't believe in anything feel it necissarry to make fun or poke holes in your religion.
Atheist: ha you believe that some invisible guy in the sky made the world in 7 days
Cristian: Well you believe a tiny dot in the middle of space exploded and somehow created the universe. WHAT NOW BITCH
