It's a lot shorter to say I'm an atheist than to say "I'm sorry I really don't want your faith pushed down my throat" or "please do not try to convert me with Pascal's Wager. I am way too intelligent for that."

As an atheist I say, "I don't believe in a god". I don't claim to know with 100% certainty that there is no god. But then, I don't claim to know with 100% certainty that there's no such thing as fairies, either.
There are people like atheists for the same reason there are people like theists. A man and a woman has sex, sometimes they conceive a baby in doing so, nine months later, that baby is born.
If that's not the answer you are looking for, and I'm sure it's not, perhaps you should rephrase the second part of the question to include whatever implication is behind it.

I'm not sure I understand this question.
Are you asking if atheists say there is ONE God, or if they say there is NO God?
Atheists do not believe that there is a God.
The second part of your question doesn't really make sense to me. The most basic thing I can say in answer to "If there is no God then why are there people like Atheists?" is "because they're right."

There are people like atheists because there are people that believe in a god.
They are the people who don't believe there is a god, b/c everyone else does.
If no one believed in god, there would be no atheists.
People aren't atheists because they believe there is a god, but they don't believe there is a god, they are atheists b/c there are other ppl who DO believe.
Get it?

No not right, atheists say they do not accept the theists claim that there is a God/Gods... for sheer lack of evidence.
Why are there people like theist's??? who make unsubstantiated claims, present a false explanation of our world and expect everyone to accept their make-believe stories?

I realize that the concept that atheists believe in NO "god" is a really, terribly difficult thing to understand. But keep trying, and eventually you will get it. Good luck!!!

First error you made: Atheist do not say there is "on" god. They say they do not have any beliefs in any gods.
Second error you made: You have no basis to assume that atheists were created by any god. You have not established the fact that there is a god that creats anyone or anything.
I know it is disappointing to get two errors when you only had two sentences.

Umm 'cause that makes sense...What are you trying to say? There is no God because God is made up and God is not real because if he was then how the h**l do you explain evolution? "God" is not real because there are too many "Gods" that all supposedly made up this universe that we are living in right now. As for your question it doesn't make sense.

Of course there is no god silly ! With some careful study and analitical thinking, you will see that man kind is in fact the true inventor of ALL gods..
With respect, you are quite likely to be an atheist of "Thor" or "Zeus"

SOME atheists claim there is no god. Other say there is no evidence of god. Either way there is a general disbelief in god.
There are people like atheists for the same reason you exist... procreation, you knob.
