×He is an atheist person.
✓He is an atheist.
The word 'atheist' is already a noun meaning 'a person who disbelieves in God or gods'. Adding 'person' is redundant and unnatural in English.
×He believes in atheist.
✓He is an atheist.
'Atheist' is a person, not a belief system or philosophy to 'believe in'. The correct phrasing is to 'be' an atheist.
×He is atheist.
✓He is an atheist.
When used as a countable noun, 'atheist' requires an article ('a' or 'the') or a possessive pronoun. 'Atheist' can also be used as an adjective (e.g., 'atheist views'), but when referring to the person, 'an atheist' is standard.
×Atheist means a person who hates God.
✓An atheist is a person who does not believe in the existence of God or gods.
This is a common misconception. Atheism is about a lack of belief, not necessarily about hatred or hostility. The definition should be neutral and focus on disbelief.
×I am an atheist, so I don't believe in science.
✓I am an atheist, but I fully believe in science.
Another common misconception. Atheism pertains only to belief in deities. Many atheists strongly value and trust the scientific method. The two concepts are not mutually exclusive.
