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?

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.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.
Communism is better than capitalism.
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 plant mug.To simply define it, an atheist is just someone who doesn’t believe in the existence of a higher power. We’re not people who believe in things like an afterlife, deities, prayers, religious rituals, etc. A normal atheist has no real problem with other people being religious or spiritual, so long as they keep that to themselves and don’t try to force others to adapt to their beliefs.
I am an atheist. When I was about 12 years old, I realized that there is no such thing as a higher power, nor do we go anywhere after we die. Everything is stored in your brain, and when your brain ceases to function that’s the end of you. You just return to the same state of non-existence that existed before you were born.

- 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.
