An atheist is what you call a person who can't describe themselves without first acknowledging God. The name says it all.

really, what's your point?
​
i mean, we can stand for things that are good (and evil) just like any other group out there can. and we can describe ourselves without acknowledging God. I mean, atheism is just one of the things that describe. I'm also a bassist. guess that means I'm a person who can't describe myself without first acknowledging basses.
​
Question. Always Question.

technically, atheist doesn't recognize god first. it recognizes "no" first. it recognizes the non-existance of God.
​
besides, how else would you neatly say you don't believe in God?

you're asking forthe inane. how does a person who doesn't play the bass relate that to others? he is "not a bassist". or "don't play any instruments".
​
how do I tell someone I don't believe in god? just like that. you have to use the word. it's like trying to say you don't like sugar, without saying "i don't like sugar".
​
do you just not like us (who don't believe) saying god?
