Atheists think there is no God. Believers do. But he varies from religion to religion. Atheists put their cases. Read for yourself. Think for yourself. Decide for yourself. A well known atheist is Richard Dawkins. Read something about him at Science and the Suicide-Cult. The Irrationalism of Richard Dawkins.

Either God wants to abolish evil and cannot, or he can but does not want to.
If he wants to but cannot he is impotent. If he can but does not want to, he
is wicked. If he neither can nor wants to, then he is both powerless and
wicked.
--- Epicurus, Greek philosopher, circa 300 B.C.
"Act of God" disasters like the Japanese earthquake expose the myth. Either
God can do nothing to stop catastrophes like this, or he doesn't care to, or
he doesn't exist. He is thus either impotent, evil, or imaginary.
