What is an Atheist?
Richard Watson states in his 1831 book, A Biblical and Theological Dictionary: “Atheist, in the strict and proper sense of the word, is one who does not believe in the existence of a god, or who owns no being superior to nature.”
Robert Flint, in his 1885 book Anti-Theistic Theories states: “Every man is an atheist who does not believe that there is a God.”
Strong Atheism
The strong atheist, also known as an explicit atheist or a positive atheist, denies the existence of God or any other deities. This person’s views are based solely on what can be found to be true using the scientific method. Since the existence of God cannot be proven using science, the strong atheist concludes that God doesn’t exist.
Weak Atheism
The second type of atheist is the weak atheist, also known as an implicit atheist or a negative atheist. This person does not deny the existence of God outright, but rather claims a religious relativism. That is, she would claim that anyone’s belief can be true for that person, but she doesn’t believe in God herself.
An Atheistic Worldview What are the implications for a religious atheist? Without God, he arrives at the necessary philosophies of moral relativism and naturalism. But does his view line up with objective reality? And is there any evidence for a God?

Atheist is a person who believes that there is no God.
From your question it appears that you do not have the meaning of the word atheist right. Christians who are of different races or diverse teachings, Catholics or Protestants, believe in the existence of only one God, but with different school of thought particularly in the manner of worship.

Atheists don't believe that there is a man living in a cloud. There is no need for different types. Where as the religions with all of their different sects now number 1500 who can't agree on the same God and God doesn't know how to get them to agree, so religion/sectarian violence can end.

Atheists don't have denominations, if that is what you mean. The only thing we all have in common is that we don't believe in a god. There are liberal atheists, conservative atheists, smart atheists, dumb atheists, and all flavors in between. We are not an organization.

Atheists don't believe in any gods. That's all it means. There aren't 'denominations' but we have all kinds of different beliefs about other things.
