An atheist does not believe in God or gods. It's worth mentioning that atheists are not immoral just because they are atheists, although many people believe they would have no morals without the word of God.
I think some people above are mixing atheist and agnostic together a bit:
Agnostics are people who believe that there is no way to know for sure whether or not God exists. They don't necessarily deny the possibility. They may also believe that the nature of a higher power, whatever it is, is unknowable to us.

'a Atheist'.
Oh dear...
How much time have you got?
Simply put - atheism is having no belief in god/deities.
Definitions vary though. I only get called an atheist because I don't have a belief in any gods, not because I deny the possibility of one.
Do not confuse with 'Athiest', this is a Christian word for:
"immoral, evil, wicked and deluded person"

An atheist is someone that does not have any belief in gods or religion. They do not believe in any religion, so that makes them a-the-ist, literally meaning "not a specialist or believer in gods," as opposed to theists, believers of gods and religion.

An atheist is one that doesn't believe in any gods. "A" meaning "without" or "not" and "theist" meaning "believer in god" - loosely that is.
