Atheism is defined as the lack of belief in gods or deities (“a” = without, “theism” = belief in gods or deities). A common misconception is that Atheists believe that gods or deities do not exist. While some Atheists do share this belief (called “antitheism”), not all Atheists do and it is not a defining belief of Atheism.
