The word 'Atheist' simply means someone whom is not a theist. The word is not to be confused with the word 'Antitheist' (someone whom belive there is no god or gods).
The word is a combiation of the word 'Theist' (beliver in a god or gods) and the greek prefix 'A' meaning 'not' or 'without'.
In short:
Theist = Someone whom belives in a god or gods.
Atheist = Not a theist.
Antitheist = Someone that belives there is no god nor gods.

I'm an agnostic atheist, and will lack a beleif in any god or gods until they are scientifically proven with imperical evidence.

Get the Atheistmug. Someone who lacks faith in religion. There’s nothing more to it, they didn’t piss in your cheerios, they aren’t gonna murder your family, they don’t go into their basement every Sunday to do satanic rituals. The average atheist lacks faith until proven wrong, but that really loud, really outspoken group of Atheist who will turn away an offer if it’s from a religious person but then also carry on for hours about Astrology.
Person 1: Ay you coming to **insert place of religious worship** today?
Person 2: Nah, I’m an Atheist.

Get the Atheistmug. Types of atheists (overlap is common) include:
- "Religious Trauma" Atheist: an atheist who has distanced themselves from religion due to emotional abuse or other bad experiences involving religion.
- "Fix the Problems" Atheist: an atheist who believes that because there are many horrible things going on in the world, there must be no god, because a god would fix those problems.
- "Where Is He?" Atheist: an atheist who mocks the "second coming" due to their belief that it comes off as stalling by religious people.
- "Science Would Go Places" Atheist: an atheist who argues that religion is holding back major scientific advancements.
- Conservative Atheist: an atheist who holds right-wing political views. Conservative atheists are very rare, but they do exist.
- Angry Atheist: a lifelong atheist who is extremely hostile and confrontational. Angry atheists have an unbridled hatred for all religions and often seek to abolish them all entirely.
- Reddit Atheist: an atheist who frequently uses Reddit or is otherwise terminally online. Reddit Atheists are overwhelmingly toxic to the point where it severely affects their daily life. They are typically even more enraged and hostile than a normal angry atheist, do not listen to reasoning, refuse to debate anyone and regularly wish death upon religious people, among other things. Most "normal" atheists do not claim them.
It's OK to not believe in God. Just don't turn into a Reddit Atheist.

Get the Historical Atheistmug. 1. A jaded, cynical person who realizes that religion is a hateful, delusional, fear-mongering cult.
2. A person who believes in science over a book that any amazing fiction writer could have come up with.
(Not to be confused with an agnostic, who is simply indecisive about religion.)

Bill: "Considering the fact that the Bible literally says you shouldn't judge people, Christians sure are extremely judgmental."
Jason: "Indeed. Hence why I am an atheist. The world was created by the Big Bang, not some guy who "rose from the dead" after THREE DAYS when the maximum amount of time that a person can be revived after death is roughly five minutes at most."

Get the Atheistmug. A smug prick who thinks that he’s better and smarter than everyone else simply for being an atheist, who also shits on others for believing in a higher power. They typically are fat, sweaty, have neckbeards, wear fedoras, have dyed hair, or a weird haircut/style, or some combination of the above.
“Dear Diary, I spent my whole day on Reddit mocking others for believing in God, how do the see people not understand that they are idiots for not being atheists and that being an unhappy fatass is better than believing in something greater than humanity?”
