Best Answer

An atheist is a person who does not believe in gods. They are not an organized group and do not have special symbols, books, groups, churches, rules, superiors, or any of the trappings of organized religions. Some atheists may utilize symbols that have a particular meaning to them personally but there is no universal symbol.
