The exact meaning of atheism is 'without reference to (a) god'.

Christians think that atheists don't believe in God. That's not true. 
Atheists simply don't use belief at all. God is ignored as being too 
loose a concept to be of practical value.

Atheists do not give a toss about Christians or what they believe except 
when they insist of injecting their nonsense into other peoples minds.
