"Kafir", the singular from"kuffar", in Arabic it is written "كافر" and "كفار", is a word avoided by modern Muslims to the degree of it losing its meaning.
It is treated as if it is a "curse"; but the meaning of the word has no relationship with cursing.
The word "Kafir" means "Unbeliever" in Arabic. You can check its meaning here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kafir
The meaning of the word is constant from ancient times to this day.
So when I call somebody "Kafir"; I am simply using an Arabic translation for the English word "unbeliever". Actually; most members on this forum are "Kuffar" or "Non-believers"; we can even translate its name to "Kafir Forum". It's a forum made and built by Kafir members who don't believe in God.
Isn't it insulting to Muslims, that they became so low and weak that they can't call an atheist or a non-believer for what they are: unbelievers/Kafirs ???
In formal Arabic, "KAFAR" which is the past tense from the verb of "Yakfur", is used to mean "rejection". So I am "A Kafir in nationalism" because I don't' believe in it; I rejected it. So as atheist; they "rejected" Islam; is it a shame to call them for what they themselves define themselves to be: Kuffar; non-believers??
It is funny and hypocritical to curse unbelievers with other Muslims, but shut up when a non-believer walks in.
As for how the Quran told a Muslim to deal with a peaceful "Kafir/non-believer" who didn't assault Muslims, it said:
So by the order of God, which was stated in verse 8 sura 60, I treat the Kuffars who didn't expel me from my home or fight me for believing in God, justly and righteously.
But you are a Kafir if you don't believe in God; or in English you're a "non-believer".

Surah 60, The Quran:
Sahih International
(8) Allah does not forbid you from those who do not fight you because of religion and do not expel you from your homes - from being righteous toward them and acting justly toward them. Indeed, Allah loves those who act justly.
(9) Allah only forbids you from those who fight you because of religion and expel you from your homes and aid in your expulsion - [forbids] that you make allies of them. And whoever makes allies of them, then it is those who are the wrongdoers.
So by the order of God, which was stated in verse 8 sura 60, I treat the Kuffars who didn't expel me from my home or fight me for believing in God, justly and righteously.
But you are a Kafir if you don't believe in God; or in English you're a "non-believer".
