Here is the definition from dictionary.com:
a person who denies or disbelieves the existence of a supreme being or beings.
—Synonyms: Atheist, agnostic, infidel, skeptic refer to persons not inclined toward religious belief or a particular form of religious belief. An atheist is one who denies the existence of a deity or of divine beings. An agnostic is one who believes it impossible to know anything about God or about the creation of the universe and refrains from commitment to any religious doctrine. Infidel means an unbeliever, especially a nonbeliever in Islam or Christianity. A skeptic doubts and is critical of all accepted doctrines and creeds.
Hmmm - sounds like my brother. Do you know anyone like this? Is this definition accurate?

For me, the part in the definition about disbelieving the existence of God is a more accurate description of me than the part about denying it. To me, denying it implies that I walk around wearing a sandwich board that reads "There is no God" and yelling, "God doesn't exist! Don't you get it?"
Sounds kind of whacky. (shrug)
