Atheist

An atheist is someone who does not believe in the existence of God or gods. This stance can be based on a lack of evidence, a reliance on scientific understanding, or philosophical reasoning. Atheism is distinct from agnosticism, which questions whether such beings are knowable. Atheists may arrive at their position through reasoned thought, personal experience, or cultural context. It is a worldview that often emphasizes human reason, ethics, and scientific inquiry over supernatural beliefs. Importantly, atheism is about the absence of belief in deities, not necessarily about any specific moral or philosophical doctrine.
