Others have basically said this already, but to answer the original request: "Please tell me what atheist means", I'll put it as simply as I can.
When someone claims that one or more gods exist, an atheist is someone who says, I do not believe that claim. That's it. Atheists do not believe the claims that gods exist... or ever did. Other than that, we all (atheists) have different ideas about organized religion, the contents of the bible(s) (and other writings of scripture), issues relating to morality, etc.
You (Mr. Olefemi) have said that the teachings of 'Jesus' are simple and good. For the most part (i.e. not entirely), I agree with that. However, I do not believe that it has anything to do with any god. The people writing the bible part 2 included some common sense information on how to be kind to each other and attributed these thoughts to a character they called 'Jesus Christ'. Modern Christians act like no one had ever thought to be good to one and other until this 'Jesus' character told them to. That's just ignorant, in my opinion.
