Not necessarily. It just means you don't believe there's a god or gods.

I guess one would need to define what one means by god or gods, if they believe in a non-physical existence but not god or gods.

It doesn't add up BC you are only considering what you can see with physical eyes, and are basing your decision off what other ppl are telling you on a message board. The key ingredient to discovering true reality is understanding that we are incapable of both knowing or understanding the wonders of the physical and spiritual realms, and submitting ourselves to trusting a benevolent creator who DOES know it all, and gives us everything we need to know about him, his creation (spiritual and physical), and the afterlife in his word. I challenge you, that if you really are curious, to read the gospel of John with an open heart and mind. If you appreciate philosophy and spiritual logic, then read some of the books written by the greatest philosopher that has ever lived: Paul. He marched up to the temple of Nike and Athena and matched philosophical prowess with some of the greatest thinkers in history, and confounded them with pure truth... To the point where many, many of them bowed before God Almighty and were saved.

Being an Athiest is a lot of work to try to describe nothingness.
It's really not. Being an atheist-leaning agnostic, I feel zero obligation to defend or describe anything. That seems to be a big point you guys don't get. Beyond participating in the occasional religious thread (like this one) I simply do not care.
Do you find it a lot of work to describe the particulars of the afterlife and who gets to go where? I imagine it's a bit more difficult.
I grew up in a Mormon family, with an atheist mother, and a Southern Baptist father. If you think atheism is hard to describe, you've got a lot to learn.
