maybe both.....at the same time
well i guess they want to keep it that way so as not to do all the things that God asked us to do like praying and fasting ....etc...
and they dont want roles to control there life they wanna spend it this way .... it's much easier i know but it's meaningless....... and it will be like liveing in a forest all animals can kill each other no roles not judges
i mean it's not fun or good at all to live your life without knowing the meaning of it and not be hold on somthing....
God is here and he is waching them so let them play and play untill the found out the truth .....
and it will be tooooooooooo late to cry .....

Many atheists would argue that there are at least two different types of atheists: strong atheists and weak atheists.
Strong atheists believe that there is no god.
Weak atheists lack a belief in a god.
So, you are partially right. Strong atheists believe something. But weak atheists do not.
I say I am a selective atheist. I lack a belief in a god, but I would be willing to accept the existence of a god or multiple gods if provided with reasonable proof. In addition, some gods which have been presented (including the Christian god) I believe definitely do not exist.

There are different kinds of Atheists, some based on logic, some based on faith.
The "Strong" or "Hard" Atheist would actively state there is no such thing as God, period.
That is a faith-based position, since they have no way of knowing one way or the other. It's just a belief nothing more.
The "weak" or "soft" Atheist simply lacks a belief in God.
This position is more accurately labeled Agnosticism, and is simply a conclusion based on logic. It is not a belief, it's the lack of belief.

No, atheism in and of itself means "a lack of belief in deity". It's true that this can take the form of an assertive DISbelief in deity. In that sense, I suppose you could say SOME atheists have a "belief" in that they assert something that can't be proven one way or another. But that's no more significant than saying I have a "belief" that pixies don't exist. I don't "keep my mind open" to the possibility of pixies; I have better things to worry about than pixies, goblins, and guys who make people out of clay and speak through burning bushes.
But atheism can also take the form simply not holding a belief in the theism department. (And no, that's not the same as agnosticism, which positively asserts that the existence of deity is unknowable). There is a difference between an assertive disbelief, and simply not having the belief. And what is "Belief in nothing" anyway?

Yes, and bald is a hair color.
Atheism is, in usage and etymology, a LACK of belief in gods. That's it. An atheist may believe or deny anything else. They may be religious or secular, spiritual or skeptical.
"Strong" or "positive" atheists actually deny the existence of gods. "Weak" or "negative"atheists lack belief without making affirmative statements either way.

No, quite simply you are putting the cart before the horse.
An atheist has no belief at all. Belief in the religious sense, is accepting something as true regardless of lack of evidence or inspite of counterevidence. An atheist does not do this.

Well if they had a belief in nothing, it would make them Agnostic. Besides, just because they don't believe in any Gods, doesn't mean they can't believe in some sort of "spirts" or high power, not neccesarily a "god" in the traditional sense.

I would say that they have a belief that there is no GOD. I think someone who has a belief in nothing would more correctly called an Agnostic.

A strong belief in NO god or anything that can not be scientifically proven and verified.
We believe in evidence, fact, proof.

I have always believed that an Atheist thinks more from a scientific point of view. I believe they think that we evolved to humans over the millions of years the earth has been here. I think they don't believe in anything spritiual in a godly sense.

Actually the parent fed, mulla fed, pastor fed religious dumb brains needs to reboot by some sort of vaccine. That’s the ultimate duty of today’s Atheist. Then it's easy to define the word god.
