If atheists are people who believe there are not gods as Christians claim, does that mean Christians worship Christian Bale?
If not, why not? Why do you get to define our word and not let others define yours?

People become Athiest because religion is so messed up that they don't know what to believe. Bad things are sometimes done in the name of religion. Not all religion originates with the true God. (Matthew 7:15) much of mankind has been misled.—1 John 5:19
Religion does not exert a powerful moral influence in the lives of most people. Many today have “a form of godly devotion” but prove “false to its power.” (2 Timothy 3:5) Their religious leaders have not set the right example, nor have the clergy given their flocks the needed Scriptural counsel to live morally. Little wonder that many believe that God is not interested in the way they live.
Jehovah God is uniting people from many religious backgrounds by teaching them the truth and by teaching them to love one another. (Micah 4:2, 3) You can recognize practicers of true religion by the way they care for one another.—John 13:35, Psalm 133:1.
True worshippers base their faith and their way of life on the Bible. (2 Timothy 3:16) They also honor God’s name. (Psalm 83:18) And they advocate God’s Kingdom as the only hope for mankind. (Daniel 2:44) They imitate Jesus by letting their “light shine,” doing good to their neighbors. (Matthew 5:16) True Christians can be recognized by their neighborly visits to people’s homes for the purpose of sharing the good news of God’s Kingdom.—Matthew 24:14; Acts 5:42; 20:20

Atheists aren't 'people who believe there are no gods'
Atheists *lack* belief in gods - subtle difference, major implications.

That seems like a fair definition of atheism - not the only way to define it, but a way. I'm pretty sure I've heard atheists themselves use that definition. So what is it you object to about that definition?

We worship nothing more than our own existance!!! Any thing else is a lie or a con or a joke or a story!!!

God lives. He is one. He loves this world very much. God wants you to love this world and make it a better place for humanity.
