Despite the attempts of comedian Ricky Gervais to redefine the term, an atheist is one who denies the existence of God, or of a supreme intelligent being, not just one who does not believe. If you simply 'do not believe' then you are irrelevant. No one cares what you believe. You are uninteresting in that you merely parrots others in your disbelief; there is nothing compelling about your arguments.
It is not simply 'not believing' that is relevant. It is the truth claim that there is no God. Ricky capitalizes on the common Jesuit lie that there is no proof for God. So he claims that atheists are reasonable people who have not been presented with enough proof. God says otherwise:
▸ ± Ps 14:1 The fool hath said in his heart, [There is] no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, [there is] none that doeth good.
▸ ± Ps 53:1 The fool hath said in his heart, [There is] no God. Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity: [there is] none that doeth good.
The nearly identical repetition tells us that the atheist has sinned in flesh and spirit.
If one says, "I don't know..." then he is not an atheist, but one who does not acknowledge God as God.
The liar
A true atheist is first a liar. One cannot know for sure there is no God unless he has searched everywhere simultaneously for him, since he may move or actively hide from him. He would have to be omnipresent, himself, or be God, to know there was no other God.
If the verses above were written by men, why would they confuse the knowledge of God with accusations of abominations. Those are different subjects, belief versus known behaviors. Because God is God, he also knows that there is no other God, and that those who make the truth claim that there is no God, have already done abominations.
Fearful Christians
Atheists parrot Ricky in the characature of Christians only being good because they are afraid of God. I'm sorry that their marriages are so terrible that they project this way. Christians do not fear making their wives angry, but love them. Why would we fear making God angry?
Why is Ricky so actively opposing God these days as many abominations are coming to light?
It is not disbelief that makes one an atheist, but the lie that he knows there is no God.
