Atheists exist, because we have defined what an atheist is, however I have never met an atheist, even though I've met many people claiming to be atheists. An atheist by definition is a person who does not believe that God exists, but in order to "not believe" in something, on must first acknowledge that there is something there to not believe in, either physically, or in this case theoretically. So thusly, you must believe in God in order to claim that you do not believe in Him/Her. A lack of faith in the definition if not the actions/power of God would be a better definition of an atheist, but I am not Noah Webster.
