Atheism (from the Ancient Greek 'atheos' - 'without God') is a lack of belief in a God. It can be seen either as an affirmation of the nonexistence of God on one hand, it can also be a form of nontheism (a simple disbelief in a personal God).

In reality the term 'atheist' can encompass more people than the name suggests. Many who are technically agnostic refer to themselves as atheists to avoid having a middle-of-the-road viewpoint imposed upon them. ><div class="noprint" style="clear: right; margin-top: 20px; border: solid #aaa 1px; margin: 20 0 1em 1em; font-size: 90%; background: #f9f9f9; color:black; width: 230px; padding: 4px; text-align: left; float: right;"> <div style="margin-left: 15px;">Wikipedia has an article related to: <div style="margin-left: 10px;">Atheism</div> </div> </div> <includeonly></includeonly>
