In reality, a lack of belief in a God.
Atheism can be caused by all sorts of situations. Even reading the Bible had turned people into Atheists because of some passages in the Bible and thinking about it.
Atheists can also be known as "agnostic atheists", who are those who don't believe in a God UNTIL there is substantial proof that one exists.
Atheists are looked down upon and are treated poorly by some religious people. These types of people will try to force the atheist to become religious. If that fails, they could devolve into threats about them going into Hell. Some atheists can be subjected to assault, battery, or other crimes because of their points of view.
Atheism does not mean Satanism, which is the belief of Satan or the Devil. Atheists also don't believe that Satan exists. Atheism can also be known as a group of people who have no morals, which is generally incorrect. Most religious people argue that if they became an atheist they could go around raping or murdering people because their book or talk isn't holding them back anymore.
Atheists can also be assholes to other religious people, but just like vise versa, this is not a general statement.

Common sense. Some one who doesnt believe in magic or propaganda, is backed up by science and logic, and figures that god doesnt do have the shit he tells us to do.

Quite simply put; someone who lacks a god belief. This could be the absence of said god in mind, or lack of faith. Just like members of any group, some of us are overzealous or so ignorant we fail to realize the purpose of any source of morales. Do not judge eachother based on prejudice. Do not seek to find flaws in eachother's beliefs but instead seek enlightenment through yours. Love everything.
I follow Gandhi and Gora's positive atheism. I am not a satanist.
I see everyone here in ignorant conflict, and it's just sad. We're here to define words and not start bitter arguements.

The belief that a god or more than one god does not exist. Atheists believe in facts that are proven to be true and tend to lean toward science for answers. They believe things happen in the absolute literal sense and not in the spiritual sense.
Person 1: Why did bad things happen to good people?
Person 2: Bad things happen to everybody good and bad people. Even though it may seem like good people have worse luck bad people have just as bad. Which is why I believe in atheism
Person 3: I am Catholic so I believe the lord Jesus Christ is our savior and there is Heaven and Hell
Person 4: I don't believe in god but I accept your religion and will not make fun.
Person 3: Thank you and I accept your belief even though ignorant people of my religion may not accept your belief

Oh, jeez. What is it with you people?
Atheism (the REAL definition) - A belief centered around a person not believing in a God or "blind faith". That's it. This doesn't mean they are immoral, pessimistic, evil, Christ-haters, Christian-haters, gamblers, racist, slutty, Bible-destroyers, demons, ignorant or whatever.
Just because they have different beliefs than some doesn't make them wrong OR right. Nobody in this world is wrong OR right about their religion or lack thereof, because there is no proof for ANY of it. People believe what they believe, end of story.
Now, SOME atheists may be evil and argumentative as fuck, but that doesn't mean they all are. And it doesn't mean that some don't like the IDEA of an afterlife, they just can't comprehend that there would be one. This is just how their brain works. To those who believe, God created us all, right? He created those who would follow a religion that's been around since people believed the sun rotated around the earth, and he created those who wouldn't believe in such an idea.
Also, atheists ARE real, and their belief isn't necessarily a phase, or coming from angsty teenagers. The most optimistic, intelligent and helpful adult I know happens to be an atheist.
I just think you Bible-thumpers are being silly and childish. If people want to believe in God, or don't want to believe in God, it's really nobody else's buisiness.
Rant over.

Atheist one: I love life! I may have to die someday and afterlife seems unlikely to me, but I have come to terms with that and I'm determined to enjoy the time I have left.
Atheist two: I hate Christians, grr. They are incorrect and I will get constipated if I don't correct every theist I see. I burn Bibles in my front lawn and I point and laugh at nuns.
Atheist three: I'm just an average Joe. I don't care if you believe in atheism or theism, I'm just living my life.

The idea that there is no god. There as two kinds of Atheism. One kind are weak atheists, sometimes called Agnostics. The other kind are strong atheists.
Agnostics thinks that because there has never been any proof of god, it is a possiblity that there may be no god. Angostics do not deny god, but rather believe that there can be no proof of god.
Strong atheists believe that there is no god. A strong atheist may argue that no god exists because science points to other starts of life.
Atheism is taken up by many intelleuctial figures such as Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, Abraham Lincoln, Douglas Adams, Bill Gates, and pretty much anyone with a brain.
Atheism in it's essence, is asking the question "why."

"The divinity of Jesus is made a convenient cover for absurdity."
-John Adams
Christian: "The Bible was written by god."
Atheist:"If the bible was written by god, show me where he is."
Christan: "God isn't on earth, he lives in heaven."
Atheist: "Show me where heaven is."
Christan: "..."
Atheism rocks!
