Atheism- The lack of belief in god or gods
Atheist- A person that lacks belief in god or gods

If you are a atheist who disagrees with this, then please elaborate.

I view atheism in its simplest form: a disbelief of the claims made by theists regarding deities. In the absence of a claim being made about the existence of a god, there is nothing to lack belief "in".
