I'm using the normal definition if believe - I.e. considering it to be true...
I like most people assume that people believe what they know...
So: do you believe you are atheist?
(Or do you change words' meanings to try to win arguments online?)
I have never believed in god and have seen no reason to start.
I am an atheist simply because i am not a theist.
Do you believe IN aunicornism?
Or do you just not believe in unicorns?

Atheist Pilot -
This topic cracks me up as it always goes on forever on boards.
Logically: Webster's dictionary: the definition is:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Definition of ATHEIST
: one who believes that there is no deity
— athe·is·tic or athe·is·ti·cal adjective
— athe·is·ti·cal·ly adverb
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I don't believe in unicorns.
I don't believe in the tooth fairy.
I don't believe in any supernatural deity or god.
This has become one of the new aveneus that the theists use to attack thinking it makes them look scientific when it again shows their ignorance of the topics., .

They will try to get you into proving the negative... that there is no god. In no other argument about something this large would it be assumed that the person with the new belief would leave it up to the defense to prove him wrong?

As Dr. Michio Kaku has stated, Extraordinary claims require
Evidence.

Don't get drawn into their arguments of intelligent design, or how precise the weight, charge, distribution, etc of elementary particles. While each one of those statements are facts, they do not prove there is a god or an intelligent creator. Simply put, Atheists don't believe in god. Period. That's; it. If you are going to carry on the discussion, it becomes much more difficult, because their answer is "see how perfect it is... god did it". Where even if you have to have studied elementary particle physics for years, they will not understand a word are saying so it is no win situation. Make them prove their is a creator. Using the bible as a reference is is such a stretch, it is comical to hear their explanations.
