Atheism is kind of a silly catch-all term that really has no meaning whatsoever, except by saying that the individual in question does not have belief in a deity. In reality, the term represents a huge variety of personal beliefs and a ethical structures. If you are an Enlightenment atheist, you almost certainly have a lot in common with say, a millennarian Christian. It's really all about context and personal experience, something which should be applied to religious people as well.
