According to the Religion Stylebook an atheist is, “A person who does not believe in God or other supernatural forces. Some people make a distinction between “weak atheism” (the idea that evidence doesn’t support a belief in God) and “strong atheism” (being convinced that God does not exist).”
It's a definition that invites questions. Lots of questions.

We often get asked why we have atheist and agnostic writers on a Faith and Values site. The above sentence that question.
