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. 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."

Get the Atheistmug. 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.

Get the Christian Atheistmug. Yep... Totally thing Joe Rogan said and not me. I'm not the guy who said initially the things that people are being aggrandized for saying.
Hym "No, you're right news lady. It was him. The atheist religion thing? And not me Hym but him, him who said the profound thing. The guy who thinks the sun is fire beat me to the punch 3 fucking years after I said it. No. I'm clearly worse than a fucking retard. And not that retard but the actual retard. I guess now we know that he was just better all along. How do we know he's not just better? He is! Clearly I'm just confused. But you can't fucking blame me for being confused because I'm worse than a fucking retard and have been all along."

Get the Atheist religionmug. 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.
