I like F, but I'll add a G:
G: Someone who does not seek approval from supernatural sources.

I'm going to say F although G is more accurate. You can't define an atheist any more than you can define a theist. Not all Christians believe in god the same way..Why do you think there are so many Christian religions? When you get right down to it Judaism, Christianity and Islam all worship the same god..but once you get to the "prophets" it all branches off into crazy town...
H- An atheist is someone who does not come on Yahoo Answers and spew dogma and bumper sticker slogans to try and prove their god has a bigger penis...

G: Someone who lacks the faith to believe in a power greater than themselves.
Seriously, where do you think all of this came from?? A magic poof that created everything?? Atheists explain your true reason for believing what you believe. Other than just saying there is no God, or sane. That's a cop out, and excuses are like a**holes, we all have em and they all stink.

E.
Atheism- The word was originally used in Greece of all those who, whether they believed in God or not, disbelieved in the official gods of the state. Philosophically, the atheist is one who determines that proofs for the existence of God are inconclusive and therefore assertions about God are meaning less. A generally working definition of atheism is that school of thought or belief which asserts that for all practical purposes a God (or Gods) does not exist.

A, B, C, and sometimes E.
(I suppose B could be argued to be untrue because someone may not believe in god yet might chat with a ghost, which is their invisible means of support - very unlikely though.)

G. A dangerous contradiction.
Pure athiests and agnostics alike are those who refuse to believe in what they can't prove.
The contradiction is that they can't disprove God's existence. Many philosophers of past have collectively weighed in the importance of acting in the existence of God rather than acting in his absence as more sensible.
Athiests fail to realize the obvious fact that no one man is privy to all knowledge, no matter how educated. We are interdependent for this reason and it describes a certain order that nature impresses upon us. It should be a humbling fact.
Although it would be easy to target athiests, it is more challenging to engage in conversation with them. To know your own faith to a degree that you can intelligently challege each other. Attacking is unkind for any reason and we should be always mindful of the great number of men and women on their own spiritual journey and discovery. Help them and they can help you grow in your respect religion/faith.

G- An atheist is someone who believes that he or she has proof that God does not exist.
A believer is someone who feels he or she can prove God exists. An atheist believes he or she can prove God doesn't exist. An agnostic is someone who feels that there is no way to prove the existence or nonexistence of God either way.

According to the Bible, I would say:G) A Fool
Only a fool hath said in his heart there no God.
And Romans 1:19, 20 counteract that.

G-Normal. A-theist is exactly what the word means, "without theology".
It isn't anti-theist, which would mean 'against theology'.
But of the other choices, I also like "A" ...;-) That final step is a doozy!! The Unitarian Universalists just put their toes in the water.

G Someone who hears the Word and does not understand it.
Matthew 13
19When anyone hears the message about the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart. This is the seed sown along the path.
