I would simply like each atheist that reads this thread to declare him/herself atheist and DEFINE the word "Atheism" in 10 words or less. If there are specifics about your belief classification, these can be added below ("I am a secular humanist") etc.
I would also like any Theist of any sort to define their Branch of theism in 10 words or less. Example, if you are Jehovah's Witness, just say "Christianity: [definition here in 10 words or less] But you may specify that it is JW in parenthesis.
If you cannot cooperate with such a simple thread-it will reveal who in each group has troubles following basic instructions, a lack of respect for others, and a serious listening disorder.
We can delve into discussion once it seems no more data is coming in if everyone can accept that :)

I am an Atheist. Atheism: "Disbelief in the existence of any gods." (I am a Nichiren Buddhist). [Atheists and Theists should follow this model to keep it "simple".]

I agree, Bob. Atheism isn't difficult to understand and it is a pretty simple position.

Oh, wait. I thought you were asking theists to define atheism. I'm an atheist. I don't believe in any gods.

I am an atheist. I have found no God of value for life.

Definition of atheist: One who does not believe in any of the gods imagined by theists throughout history. One who feels that due to a complete lack evidence and reason from the theist side that the arguments for theism are untenable and flawed.

Skeptical, therefore atheist. The evidence says supernatural beings don't have objective existence.
