If you bothered to check the meaning of the word 'atheist' you may have refrained from making your ignorant,patronising and fatuous post.
An atheist is simply a person who disbelieves in god(s). Nothing else is implied or may be inferred. Atheism is not a religion,a belief system,a philosophy, a set of principles, an ideology,a secret society,nor even a social club where we have monthly barbecues and roast babies.
My atheism is not a choice,but an inescapable conclusion it took me over 20 years to reach, from age 20 to my early 40's. I'm 63 next month.
Oh, which God? Do you perhaps mean YHWH/Allah? He's the petty,vindictive, petulant,cruel,capricious, and vicious god of a small bronze age tribe of goat herders.He began as "el' (he), a minor Sumerian desert god, hence the nasty personal qualities.
