Atheist is completely avoiding Religion. Although... my friend tells me that if you are an Atheist what you are REALLY saying is: "If I see God I'll believe it" so he calls himself a "Realist" instead of Atheist. Personally I don't care for the difference in terminology.
But yeah, Atheism is the REJECTION of religion.
