View source for Lists of atheists

{{Short description|none}}
<!-- IMPORTANT: Do not add a name to this list unless they are notable for their atheism, and, in the case of living persons, self-identify as atheists. Entries that do not include a source reference will be deleted. Celebatheists is NOT a reliable source. A statement by a living person that they do not believe in God is not a sufficient criterion for inclusion in this list, neither is description in a third-party source as a self-confessed atheist. The person should have described themselves as an atheist in their own speech or writing, to satisfy the BLP policy requirements spelled out in [[WP:BLPCAT]].

Please make sure that you have read the criteria for posting on the list and that the person you are adding conforms to those standards. Also ensure that you are posting in the same format as the other entries (including date of birth and, where applicable, date of death).

Do not delete properly sourced entries without justification. Discuss it on the Talk page first, unless the entry is clearly nonsense or vandalism.

When adding nationalities, please disambiguate links where necessary. E.g., use [[England|English]] rather than just [[English]], since [[English]] is a disambiguation page. -->

<!-- The definition in the opening line is the one used in the Atheism article. Much discussion about the definition has taken place on the Atheism talk page. Do not change the definition here to anything other than what the consensus is at Atheism. -->

[[Atheism]], in the broadest sense, is an absence of [[belief]] in the [[Existence of God|existence]] of [[Deity|deities]]. In a narrower sense, atheism is simply the absence of belief that any deities exist. This is a compilation of the various '''lists of atheists''' with articles on [[Wikipedia]] by category. Living people in these lists are those whose atheism is relevant to their notable activities or public life, and who have publicly identified themselves as atheists.
