Atheism is lack of belief in god's existance in the most basic sense. That is all.
Quote:1.I don't believe in god because there is no credible evidence for his existence.Agnostic atheist. One who admits to not know weather a god exists or not(agnostic) and lacks belief in it(atheist).
Quote:2.There is no god, there never has been, there never will be.Gnostic atheist. One who claims to know there is no god(gnostic).
Agnostic atheists make no claim of any kind and so it's not a belief.
Gnostic atheists claim there is no god and so it is a belief.
That's it. That's atheism. People tend to be atheist through various reasons, the most common reason happens to be lack of evidence.
So if someone says they are an atheist, it simply means that they do not believe in the existance of god(s).

Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.
Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.
