I am an Atheist
I don’t kick puppies, torture cats or give babies dirty looks. I don’t hate the gods nor am I angry with them. I don’t worship Satan, Baal or any of the ‘bad’ gods your religion supposes exists. I’m only angry when you, a theist, ticks me off with your ignorant arrogance.
I am an atheist.
This means I do not believe in any god, not just yours. That means your god is merely one of the thousands (millions?) of gods I do not believe exists. I consider them the creations of our collective ancestors and nothing more. If you thought about why you don’t believe in the rest of the gods – you might just figure out why I do not believe in yours.
I am not an atheist because I hate your god or because I am angry at it. I don’t believe your god exists – hating it or being angry at it requires that I believe it exists. I have not confused your god and my father. I am not an atheist because I wish to live a moral free life or because some old person once looked at me funny.
I am an atheist because there’s not one shred of evidence that your god or the thousands that came before it exists outside of your holy books. While there are very specific reasons I do not like whatever religion you’ve aligned yourself to – I am not an atheist because of them. Do not confuse the issue or tell me about the “true†version.
I am an atheist.
This word does not frighten me and I don’t care what you think about it. I do not believe in the gods and I won’t choose a word you approve of to soften the blow.
I am an atheist.
I am not in a religion. I do not claim to be all knowing. I am not angry with your god or pretending it does not exist. I do not follow your evil god or have a secret faith in your not-evil god. I am not acknowledging your god when I address your religion anymore than you are denying your god when you address my disbelief.
I am an atheist.

i am an atheist also and completely agree with what you said. im not sad or lonely without the faith of god in my life, because i have faith in my life as a whole and i have many friends and family that provide me with love and support when they are needed. (not to offend anyone) but i dont have to believe in something that i don’t think is there to feel fulfilled!
“If God did not exist, it would have been necessary to invent him.”
–Voltaire (sometimes attributed to H. L. Mencken)
And, of course, there are those that feel this is the case. A wonderful, oppressive invention by which to subjugate the weak-minded.
I’m about to go a political rant, but this is not the forum.
Damn! GOD made me forget to type the word “into” after ‘go’ in that last sentence. Good thing I noticed. Bet He’ll be pissed. 
He hates when you correct Him.
