An atheist may say, "If there is a God, we would have figured Him out by now. But we haven't, so, logically, there must not be one."
A God-fearing Christian may say, "I may not see, understand, or sometimes find You, but I trust You are there because You promised."
"Little round planet in a big universe, sometimes it looked blessed, sometimes it looks cursed. Depends on what you look at, obviously, but even more it depends on the way that you see." Bruce Cockburn

OK some people got atheism confused. First, we don't eat baby's we prefer toddlers from 2-5. Second, satan has possessed us no wrong we possessed him. Fourth we don't respect Christians no we actually do, well most of us.

One who lacks a belief in god or gods. This lack of belief may manifest either as strong atheism (i.e., the positive position that there is no god) or in weak atheism (i.e., the position that current concepts of god make no sense or are irrelevant and thus it is unreasonable to believe in god).
"As an atheist, Harry never worries about What Jesus Would Do in any situation any more than he worries what Santa Claus Would Do."

A person who doesn't believe in god. Someone who doesn't believe that there is a heaven or hell. Close to an agnostic, who doesn't believe that either (god or darwinism) can be proven or disproven.
Freedom of religion includes freedom from religion-No one should care if anyone is atheist or christian, everyone is entitled to their own beliefs

1. A person who does not believe in a deity or God.
(In extreme cases, it is also a person who criticizes others for believing "fairy tales" from the Bible. These people are not atheists, as they would have you think, but elitists, and should be given a severe beating.)

A term to describe someone who doesn’t believe in god or thinks he exists. Some of them only believe what they see implying that only the material world exists and nothing else.
Atheist: Do you believe in god?
Handler: Yea
Atheist: No way, I only believe in what I can see, what I don’t see I don’t believe
Handler: Have you seen your brain then? Have you seen your future?
Handler: Yea
Atheist: No way, I only believe in what I can see, what I don’t see I don’t believe
Handler: Have you seen your brain then? Have you seen your future?

An atheist is...
1. Someone who acknowledges science, evidence, and all things rational instead of pure faith in a deity or deities. Instead of relying on "The Lord" to improve their lives, an atheist would be the best he or she can be.
a. The relationship between Christians and Atheists:
Some Christians attempt to verbally attack or convert Atheists and vice versa. Both have their extremists and their everyday average joe citizens who do not intervene with the lives of the opposite.
The logical thing to do in a situation like this where some of both factions are at verbal war is to simply leave the opposite alone. The saying "If you have nothing good to say, don't say it" comes into play here.
