AN atheist (with the indefinite article) is a person who lacks belief in deities.
<--THIS atheist (demonstrative pronoun) is: pretty dang sure she exists; a person who loves books; a person who enjoys science, but not math; a person who tries to always keep things in perspective; and a person who possesses a few thousand other qualities in addition to the above, and doesn't really like the idea of being defined by any of them.
Void of any knowledge of anything on earth. No knowledge of where he came from and where he is going. Totally oblivious of his surroundings with no ability to tell the difference between good and evil or right or wrong. No will to find the truth and wouldn't know it if it walked up and slapped him. No knowledge of God or belief of Him.
An atheist is one who does not believe in any deity. They might enjoy maths and science. They might keep things in perspective, but there are exceptions to both statements.
E....I just so happen to be a unicorn, I am in a book club, I enjoy math and science, I keep things in perspective for my family, and I'm all of the above!
