Oh sweet Jesus... I'd hoped that I'd seen the end of this question in the mid 90s.
The age-old example isn't of a potato, but of a chair... and it's known as the atheist chair.
a- = without. Your chair is apolitical, amoral and atheistic.
Some atheists don't like that definition, because they feel that it makes it easier for theists to mock them (brainless = atheist). Well, I long ago gave up worrying what people think of me. Facts are facts, regardless of how those facts can be used against you.
And as a footnote to some of the above posts... the word is "atheist", not "Atheist" and the word is "god", not "God". Capitalised first letters are for proper nouns. The Christian god is God. Thor is a god, not a God.
