True. Just the absence of belief in a god defines one as an atheist.

Quote:You just have to live without a god.
For me atheism isn't a believe that there is no god, it s to state that there is no necessary to have a god to have a good life.

Everyone lives without god.

Some just believe there is a god.

You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.
