Wow some of the answers were kind of insane...but thats ok. Child of God I like your answer the best. I hope more people analyze that answer over and over and over. And really think hard about what it means to be a god and what it means to deny the existence of gods.

The dictionary definition is:
One who disbelieves or denies the existence of God or gods.
Looking at the definition it is clear the second part is redundant. Why would anyone deny a gods existence if they believed in it. So the definition reduces to
One who disbelieves in the existence of God or gods.
The only problem here is that I have found many Christians don't understand the meaning of disbelieves. So I use the simpler but equivalent statement.
One who does not believe in gods.

As an Atheist that would not settle for the seen a god or gods, there is no longer something for me to define. interior the meaning that others supply to it, i'd say that it si meant to be some all powreful magical entity... If I define a term like Beamis... and supply it supernatural powers. Does that mean it now exists and all of us right here who has heard this is going to settle for that it exists regardless of in case you suspect in it or no longer? i did no longer think of so. So why shopuld I settle for that there is a god or gods? purely through fact somebody suggested there grew to become into? no longer likely... for the comparable motives...

The definition of atheism is simple...a disbelief in the existence of God. I'm sure that's true for Christians and non-Christians alike. It's not subjective. I'm not sure what you're getting at here.

Bajingo...I am none of the things you state.
But you....you are a very good example of why Christians (and I use that term loosely for you) are looked at with contempt by so many athiests.
I don't condem you or look down at you....I believe you are free to follow your own beliefs. Whay can't your tiny little brain allow me the same courtesy without the labels?

Atheism is simply a belief of unbelief. In a nutshell, they do not believe in the existence of any god.
