Doesn't it mean they don't believe in God.

They have faith that there is no God.

It's more then "I don't believe in God" rather it is distinctly "I believe there is no God." It's very easy to define.

>>682986558
Atheism is not a disbelief in gods or a denial of gods; it is a lack of belief in gods. Older dictionaries define atheism as "a belief that there is no God."Atheism is not a disbelief in gods or a denial of gods; it is a lack of belief in gods.

No, that's agnostic atheist. Agnostic as a term only refers to if you know something or not.

It is not the assertion of any of our own beliefs, it is simply the rejection of your position.

On the contrary. It's true that you can be an agnostic theist/atheist, but it's the agnosticism in it that defines their admittance of the fact that it's impossible to know, thus it's a position of belief over "knowledge", which is what those blindly religious fanatics claim to have.

atheism isn't a belief system, religious people are the ones making outrageous claims without evidence. atheists are simply people who don't believe the claims being made.

Agnosticism is the only rational choice.

Atheism and theism are both on the same spectrum of closemindedness. Anyone jumping to either conclusion is taking part in either wishful (theism) or pretentious (atheism) thinking.

Atheism is, in the broadest sense, the absence of belief in the existence of deities. <- it's basically the same thing as saying "there is no god", because you shut that possibility out. It's just as closeminded and even more pretentious than blind faith.

'belief' - An acceptance that something exists or is true, especially one without proof:

'atheism' - Disbelief or lack of belief in the existence of God or gods.

I was getting the definitions to correct you, but it looks like you were right. I still think atheism has a measure of blind faith, coming from both a former Christian and atheist.

Belief in God or being an agnostic theist doesn't mean you have to partake in whatever religions exist/believe in the God-figure they present. It's simply the belief that a God of some sort exists or admittance to the fact that it cannot be known but you choose to believe or in the case of an agnostic atheist the admittance that it cannot be known but you choose not to believe.
