They believe in nothing. A belief in nothing is still a belief. Contrary to popular opinion.

Why is this so difficult for you?

Atheism = lack of belief in the existence of deities.

That's all there is to it.

I think Atheism is just not believing in God or Jesus Christ.

yeah it means you don't believe in God, but some still believe in Sprite stuff. Some think they is no way to prove or disprove it so they chose not to believe in anything. But I would rather believe in something and find out that it's not true. Then go to hell and wished i Believed

Atheism is simply the lack of belief in any gods, nothing more, nothing less. There are at least two religions that are atheistic (they don't believe in gods).

Some atheists believe in things that other atheists don't and some of us consider belief to be a poor substitute for saying that we don't know and then trying to learn more.

If you had done your homework you might be aware that Atheism is a religion like all the others. Atheism is a BELIEF that God does not exist because there is no proof that God exists. But in the same part, there is also no proof that God does NOT exist so that is why Atheism is a religion.

Not believing in a god or gods.

And nothing but that.

Atheists consider themselves free thinkers when actually they are slaves to the ruler of this world. He has blinded them. They are in the dark, yet the light continues to shine and they cannot defeat it or understand it. (John 1:5) So they created a name for themselves from the Greek word "ethos" which literally means, "without god". Then, in some very strange way, feel the need to justify their disbelief by ridiculing and tempting those who do believe with arguments of logic and worldly wisdom.

Worldly wisdom = Foolishness

You make it sound like we don't believe in anything, but we believe in everything except the IMAGINARY stuff. Hence we believe in everything. The irony is it's you that revolves your life around believing in "nothing".

Atheists think, they don't believe. I THINK there is no god...I don't believe there is no god. I have REASON to live. I do not believe to live. Religious Believers don't think very much...if they did, they couldn't be religious.

You are right. Atheists don't believe. Atheists think!

Of course atheists have a belief system or vision of an acceptable life if you like just the same as anybody else. The difference is they dint look to god but the system for inspiration

There is no such thing as 'atheism'.

There are atheists, but this refers simply to people who do not believe in the existence of gods. That is not the same as believing that there are no gods (egg. we don't call people who don't believe in the existence of the Loch Ness monster Amonsterists and we don't say they practice Amonsterism).

No, atheism is having no belief in any gods. That's it.
Atheists have beliefs, just not in deities, some atheists even follow philosophies that could be considered religions, like Buddhism.
As an atheist, you don't have to "follow" anything except societies' rules.

Back in 2005 a court ruling was made that atheism IS a religion and has rights as any other religion.

It is legal and binding...Sorry.

Nope...

Only means we don't accept the existence of gods... not really all that hard to understand...

Anything else is only claimed by the Christians... for whatever reason...

IMHO

theism means someone believing in a god or gods.

atheism means someone who does not believe in a god or gods.

That's all it is. It isn't necessarily a belief or a belief system, as a baby is an atheist (they can't believe in god - they're a baby!). It doesn't actually matter whether someone simply has never heard of a particular god or actively disbelieves (or believes that they do not exist) - its all the same, its all atheism.

All atheism is, is NOT theism. That's it.

Atheists CAN still have a religion. Some forms of Buddhism and Hinduism are atheistic (no god or gods), but in the same way that theism isn't a religion, neither of atheism.

Right, theism is the belief in a deity or deities.

Atheism is the lack of belief in any deity or deities.

Theism does not intrinsically mean animal sacrifice, special dietary requirements, funny clothes or attempting to convert every animate thing that come along.

Atheism similarly doesn't intrinsically mean anything beyond it's stated definition. It does not mean an acceptance of certain scientific theories, it does not mean a hatred of any particular deity, it is not the same thing a Satanism, it is not a rejection of society, morality or law.
