When it comes to ancient Egyptian, Greek or Roman gods no one believes in them anymore so everyone is atheist to those gods. And any god today that isn't from your region you don't believe in so that makes you an atheist to those gods too. So everyone is an atheist it’s just some of us go 1 god further. Why don't you?

Well done for whaching the root of all evil what a show that was.

You are of course absolutely correct. I suspect all religious believers will tell you that you are wrong, their God is real (surprise surprise) but just wait till the next man-made God comes along. For example.
God is just another fake creation by man.
Humanity has created many Gods, for example – Gods of Olympus, Ancient Egypt, Babylon and so on. Most of us are atheists about most Gods humanity has created, except the latest craze, the current God in the Bible. Learned atheists have also rejected this version of a God, but some hard-core believers still hang on, presumably until a better image of God is created by man.
Faith in God seems to be nothing more than humans attempting to run away from reality, an excuse to avoid thinking and evaluating evidence. Faith is just an emotional escape and really just a substitute for opening your eyes to reason.
Believers talk about God creating man in his own image. It’s in the Bible so it’s fact – get a grip, get real. The facts suggest the exact opposite. Man created God in his own image. I’m sure humanity will disregard this God, as they have disregarded all previous Gods, it’s just a matter of time before humanity creates another God that better serves their emotions and image.

I think your a little confused with what an Atheist is.. An Atheist doesnt believe in ANY god.. So where you have said "And any god today that isnt from your religion you dont believe in..." we dont believe in ANY god so yeah that statement is wrong..
I am an atheist and even though I personally think that religion is a scam I dont have a problem with anyone who believes.. It is a personal opinion.. there is no right or wrong answer (even though we may think we are right..) we just have to respect each others beliefs!

Atheists believe in no god. So if you believe in any one god, you are, by definition, no longer an atheist. Nice try with the play on words though.

An atheist believes in no god what so ever. Let me clarify: an atheist believes that gods do not and cannot exist in any way, shape, or form.

I'm athiest except I'm a hindu, so i don't go one god farther. I have alot of gods i'm ingnoring. Religion causes as many problems as it solves. But many people can't stand the thought of there not being something after life, that's the biggest reason for most people.

'A' is the antonym in english, being a negative thought.
'Theist' means someone who believes in a God. Not a specific God, just some God.
So atheist means someone who doesn't believe in a God.

Athiests aren't just nonchristians, they don't believe in ANY gods (Edit: They believe in 0 deities, rather than simply not having a belief either way). Sorry, your satire falls flat. And I'm agnostic!

You need to buy a book on religion, maybe on history, and one that explains religious terminology. Thus educate yourself. Your lack of it shows in your question. Good luck. Life is too short to be ignorant.

I think everyone is entitled to their own interpretation of religion and what it means to them in their life. I personally do not go to church, but I DO believe there is an afterlife.
