"There are no atheists in foxholes"

There are no atheists.

Atheists believe in God, but just believe in what he is, rather than
what
people say about him.

Some people call themselves atheists, but they don't even know what the
word
atheist means.

People use words that they don't understand to try to sound impressive.

Well this should impress you, as you are about to learn what an atheist
is:

"Atheism is the world of reality, it is reason, it is freedom. Atheism is
human concern, and intellectual honesty to a degree that the religious
mind
cannot begin to understand. And yet it is more than this. Atheism is not
an old
religion, it is not a new and coming religion, in fact it is not, and
never has
been, a religion at all. The definition of Atheism is magnificent in its
simplicity: Atheism is merely the bed-rock of sanity in a world of
madness."
[Atheism: An Affirmative View, by Emmett F. Fields]

Emmett's last line is just for you !

People try to define things, but they often don't succeed.
An atheist, rather, is one whom believes in what God is, rather than what
men say about him.
So there is no such thing as an atheist.
