There are a lot of differences between the two: MTB's and ATB's...
ATB's Crank - 48-38-30/28
MTB's Crank - 44/42-32-22
ATB's Drive System - Usually 7speed
MTB's Drive System - Can Be 8 or 9speed
ATB's Cockpit/Handlebars - Very upright, with a 25* or more angle on the stem
MTB's Cockpit/Handlebars - Usually Neutral or level with the saddle or under the saddle for a faster more aggressive stance
ATB's Rims - Mostly Single Walled
MTB's Rims - Mostly Double Walled and may even have reinforced eyelets
Bottom line:
Both will accept a host of upgrade parts - there is plenty of Braze-on mounts for Racks, Fenders, and the like...
ATB's are great for Greenways and School Campus' because they cruise out more upright, and their cheaper spec' makes them easier to replace when/if they get stolen. They have their place - just not on the trail.
MTB's are great for Offroad Trails and Fast Commutes ranging from 3 to 10 miles. Their more durable spec' leaves them looking for longer more frequent rides due to the increased durability. Around a lot of traffic though and you MAY find a sore neck from having to look out to a further than normal event horizon.
I hope this helps you out!

ATB stands for All Terrain Bike and is sometimes used in the same breath when speaking about mountain biking. For the purpose of buying mudguards, it doen't really make a lot of difference if you call it ATB or MTB as long as it fits your bike.

RE:
What is an 'ATB' bicycle? Is it the same as 'MTB' (for the purposes of buying mudguards)?

ATB usually stands for All Terrain Bike, but is just a cheap way of making the bike sound like more than it really is... MTB is Mountain Bike.
Just about any MTB will come with the mounting holes for "mudguards" or what most people just call rain fenders.

If you could buy a book that could foretell the future thousands of years in advance, if you could buy the most popular book ever written, if you could buy a copy of the first book ever written, if you could buy a book that told you how to farm, how to have faith, how to live and not die, how to love and not hate, how to be healed and not be lame, wouldn't that not only be a book worth buying, but worth reading, studying and learning? You could also think of it as a picture album of the Son of God. The thing is if I showed you a picture album of my son and you were disinterested, I would stop showing you the pictures. That is the same way with the Word of God. If you are not interested, God will not show you the pictures of His son. Just getting through The Book to say you read it, will not impress Him. It will not please Him. Looking for His Son will please Him. And He will show you His Son.
