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 Atheist mug.Atheist Imperialism is a term used to refer to a new atheist ideology that is about spread atheism over the whole world, mainly from developed countries to undeveloped countries and to peripheral countries. Atheist Imperialism is also used to refer to the act of Anglo-Saxon new atheist authors spread new atheism over the whole world and influence the whole world. As an ideology, atheist imperialism is basically state atheism in form of imperialism, it seeks to fight religion, spirituality, supernaturality, metaphysics/extraphysics, esoterism and occultism into all means possible. Always seeking on the use of natural sciences and Neo-Positivism for do so. Atheist Imperialism also seeks on the full control of worldwide politics and science as a way to promote new atheism to everyone and everywhere, atheist imperialism usually seeks on the use of violent arguments and discriminatory arguments as a way to impose new atheism to everyone.
"Atheist imperialism is considered as a culturally authoritarian ideology but it advocates libcentre politics and economics. Atheist imperialism could be considered a possible tool of State Atheism to spread atheism worlwide and even a tool of new atheism to spread new atheism worldwide using science, politics and the internet to do so. Being both forms of atheism and imperialism, it uses violent and discriminatory arguments, always trying, using any means possible, calling everything religious, spiritual, supernatural, metaphysical/extraphysical, esoteric and occult mental illness (delusion, schizophrenia, madness, hallucination etc), as charlatanism and as others usually call those things."
"Atheist Imperialism has become the crusades of 21st century based on new atheism, neuroatheism, psychoatheism, scientoatheism, mediumship/spiritual reductionism and others. Atheist imperialism must be countered and criticized such as religious fanaticism, since atheism imperialism might be considered as a form of religious fanaticism."

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 Atheist mug.A person claiming there isn't a god but fanatically believes in cultish fantasies like:
Men can become women.
Climate can be controlled by the ratio of EVs to ICE motor vehicles.
Evolution.
Babies aren't really alive till birth.

Religious bigotry is cool.
These tenets are inseparable from their ideology. To the point that true atheists are ashamed to be lumped in with their ilk.

Get the Atheist mug.You might be even worse than a plant. I don't think there is a word for someone who feints the absence of belief.
Hym "That's the important bit, is it? That religion makes people go 'yay?' Get the fuck out of here. You're an atheist charlatan, Alex. You feint the absence of belief so you can proselytize from the other end. The 'fruits' of Christianity IS the act of Christians taking credits for higher-order abstractions. Forgiveness? Buddhism has doctrine about forgiveness. Hinduism has it. Ok. Maybe not. Maybe atheist charlatan is a bit of a stretch.... Nope. Nope. I'm right. You get paid to sit there and 'Oh well I don't know. Everything is just so nebulous!' And you hym and haw and say 'Is it really the claim the creator of the universe spoke to a guy in direct dialogue... Or is it the friends we made along the way?' And we're all worse off for it."

Get the Atheist Charlatan mug.An atheist that believes in an afterlife and references Jesus, but believes in science for the creation of life and existence, or not thinking God is real. These people reference many bible related subjects, but does not think that God is the creator of life, only saying so for a joke or other non-serious reason.
Joe is such a Christian atheist. He references god so much but still refuses he believes he is real.
