Someone smart enough to realize that not only is there no god, but that the 'why' question is completely irrelevant. It is rather based on the unfalsifiable assumption that because we as humans can plan and scheme, then so the rest of the universe must also have a 'prime mover' who planned and schemed this world as well (even though to say that there is prime mover would mean that one would need to go into infinite regress). This world view is closely related to the pre-Copernican view that the earth was the center of the universe.
Theist: Look Atheist, I don't care how many facts and figures you throw at me, you still cannot tell me how science can answer the "why?" question.
Atheist: What is the "why?" question?
Theist: Well duh! it's only the most important question in the world! It's about why we are here!
Atheist: Why does that matter?
Theist: Because, it would tell us our purpose in life!
Atheist: Why does that matter?
Theist: Because, why would you live in a world where there is no purpose to what you do? There needs to be something to guide us!
Atheist: So are you saying that instead of figuring that out on your own, you want someone or some"thing" else to tell you what your life is about?
Theist: NO.....I just don't think that anyone would want to live in a world with no purpose
Atheist: Listen Theist, I'm gonna go and have sex with your mom. I'll let you know if I find the answer to that when I get back okay?
Theist:.......um.....ok..ay.

Get the atheist mug.Egotistical assholes that think they are superior, have some "common sense" or "greater knowledge" because they don´t believe in God. Look jackasses, I´m not saying you´re inferior either, but quit putting people down if they believe in God.

Get the atheists mug.Someone who does not believe in a deity.
Does not need to be "tolerant" of other people's silly, unfounded ideas when he knows full well that people kill each other over said silly unfounded ideas.
"Intolerant" atheists are usually dismissed as being "close-minded" or spiteful, when in fact they merely actively debate against the idea of using faith as a means of acquiring truth.
They debate it not because they feel superior, but because they know that faith is a dangerous idea with significant consequences in the world.

Atheist:"I think Mike's belief in green fairies is kind of ridiculous"
Theist:"I agree, Mike will believe anything!"
Atheist:"I think your belief in God is kind of ridiculous as well"
Theist: "Hey, don't bash my beliefs man!"
There should be no taboo in debating religion, as there is none in science, politics, or any other forum
