I wouldn't use the word athiest...I would use the word "agnostic" when explaining to them.
Athiest is more of a negative connotation and goes way beyond not believing in God....I think of Athiests not only believing in the non-existance of God, but dead and determined that no one else should either.
Agnostic is what more so-called "athiests" are....they just don't believe in any type of religion, and believe that you are born, you live, you die, and that's it. There is nothing wrong with that, if that is what you believe.
That is what makes America beautiful.
As you can see, one sounds alot less intimidating than the other.
