Definitions and meanings of "Atheist"

What do we mean by atheist?

A person who does not believe in deities.

A person who does not believe in a particular deity (or any deity in a particular pantheon), notwithstanding that they may believe in another deity.

A person who believes that there is no god. A person who rejects the validity of religion as a concept and generally has more faith in science and logic. Urban Dictionary

Someone believing in no religion and or afterlife. Urban Dictionary

A being that doesn't believe in any deity or deities. A.K.A what you were when you were first born. Urban Dictionary

An atheist is a person who does not believe in any sort of deity. Though this does not neccessarily precipitate smugness, it can often lead to it. Atheists however are impossible to stereotype just as any person of any other faith is impossible to stereotype due to the wide nature of this group. Urban Dictionary

1) A person who does not believe in any sort of deity or "God" but accepts that others do. 2) An elitist who like to mock anyone that disagrees with them, particularly christians. In case 2 what's disturbing is the utter contempt, disrespect, and intolerance (and in some cases, hatred) these people have for anyone that disagrees with them. They refuse to go by the principles of live-and-let-live and do-unto-others. They will counter this assertion by arguing that religious people never live-and-let-live and are always forcing religion onto people. This is of course false, and only applies to a very small minority of religious people (such as the nutjobs at the WBC) and thus is a prime example of smearing people with a vastly over-generalized statement. Most won't admit it, but they resent the fact that most modern nations allow freedom of religion for all. Ultimately, they would like to see this right taken away someday. Urban Dictionary

One who cannot define logically, scientifically, or pragmatically the existance of a God Urban Dictionary

One who lacks a belief in god or gods. This lack of belief may manifest either as strong atheism (i.e., the positive position that there is no god) or in weak atheism (i.e., the position that current concepts of god make no sense or are irrelevant and thus it is unreasonable to believe in god). Urban Dictionary

An atheist is... 1. Someone who acknowledges science, evidence, and all things rational instead of pure faith in a deity or deities. Instead of relying on "The Lord" to improve their lives, an atheist would be the best he or she can be. a. The relationship between Christians and Atheists: Some Christians attempt to verbally attack or convert Atheists and vice versa. Both have their extremists and their everyday average joe citizens who do not intervene with the lives of the opposite. The logical thing to do in a situation like this where some of both factions are at verbal war is to simply leave the opposite alone. The saying "If you have nothing good to say, don't say it" comes into play here. Urban Dictionary

Many people often confuse atheism with agnosticism, by saying that atheists are confused and have no faith whatsoever. This is not true. Although there are many different kids of atheists, the many principle is that there is no God or higher being. They do not always rely on science to come to this conclusion. Therefore, atheists do believe and have faith; they believe that there is no God and they have faith that God does not exist. Agnostics do not believe in God but they do not believe that there is no God. Atheism is often a teenage phase, but it also lasts for life. Some Atheists judge Christians, Jews, etc., but some do not, and I think it is very judgemental to classify all Atheists as "self-obsessed judgemental people who hate anyone who's not an atheist". In my experience, if you respect an Atheist's religion, they are, in most cases, more than likely to respect yours. Urban Dictionary

One who doesn't believe in god(s). Usually accepts scientifically demonstrated facts, and is generally willing to change one's mind should better evidence be presented. Urban Dictionary
