Is somebody only considered an atheist if they completely deny the existence of God and are not just someone who fears that there may be no God after all when they die?
Atheism is the lack of belief in god(s), period. Most atheists do not fear "that there may be no God." They don't consider it a reasonable possibility. While some atheists do, there is no philosophical or intellectual imperative to deny the existence of "God." Lack of belief is sufficient.

What are some misconceptions about Atheism?
One misconception would be that Atheists are people of no faith. It takes just as much faith to deny the existence of a higher power as it does to acknowledge it. Not all atheists are "strong atheists" who deny the existence of god. Having said that, it does not take faith to deny the existence of unicorns, leprechauns, or the tooth fairy. The idea that you need faith to not believe in something is silly.
Where is it stated that you are born knowing God?
There is no "statement that you are born knowing God." Simply, reason tells the human mind that there is Something/Someone Who is of greater intellect than we humans. We humans cannot create something from nothing. On the other hand, God can. Therefore, this thing, called natural reason, which every human possesses, tells us of God's existence. Yet, this means that though we know of God's existence, but we do not know God. Not unless we allow Him to speak to us and we ourselves search to find Him. So no one is born "knowing God," but through natural reason we know He exists. To deny His existence, no offense to all atheists, is really to deny the existence of everything around us.
Is the definition of an Atheist really someone who denies the existence of God?
Sigh. The short answer is no, not at all. Here is why:In order to "deny" something of existing, the thing would have to actually be evidentially existent. In this case there is no proof of God so, therefore, you can not deny it.Atheists believe, according to Merriam-Webster dictionary is: "one who believes that there is no deity." What this means is that they do not believe in any God or supernatural creator.The best question to ask is "Is the definition of a theist really someone who denies physics, astronomy, evolution, and modern science to believe in a supernatural creator or God?"For more information on Atheism see " http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atheism "In addition it may be worth looking at " http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secular_humanism " as well.Answer:The question is posed with a "and we all know there is really a God" part unsaid. An atheist does not deny the existence of god any more than an adult would deny the existence of the monster under his bed that he believed in when he was child. In both cases there really is nothing there to deny the existence of
What does the devil seek from humans?
According to Christian doctrine, Satan's greatest desire is to keep people far away from God. He will seek to either cause you to deny God's existence or to slander, lie about God's character.
Do you have to believe in God to be an atheist?
Answer:Atheist means "without god". An atheist does not believe in the existence of any deity or god(s). He is not in conflict with the belief in a god(s), conflicted about the existence of a god(s), in denial of the existence of a gos(s). It's simple - to an atheist there is no god(s).If you compare it to a person who does not believe in Santa Claus or the monster under the bed, you would never say that such a person really believes in these beings, but does his best to deny them.

Who denies the existence of God?
In a general sense, the rejection of belief in the existence of God, or other supernatural deities, is known atheism. Individuals who advocate or follow this rejection of belief are known as atheists.Another PerspectiveThere is really no special name for people who "deny" the existence of God(s). I suppose you could call them god-deniers. An atheist is one who is without a belief in a god (a = without + theism = belief in a god = without belief in a god), as opposed to a theist- a person who does believe in a god. Atheists do not necessarily deny a god or reject a god. They simply do not believe that a supernatural creator controls human destiny. And, they do not dwell on the topic. As with any group there may be atheists with stronger or more extreme personal beliefs as there are theists with extreme personal beliefs.
How did God appear out of the blue?
The exact origins of God are unknown and vary depending on different religious and philosophical beliefs. In monotheistic religions, God is often considered omnipotent and eternal, existing without a beginning or end. In this sense, God did not "appear" out of nowhere but has always existed.
