a·the·ist ˈāTHēəst/ noun a person who disbelieves or lacks belief in the existence of God or gods. "But there's no proof" he countered "can't people just have hope?" I asked him looking up into his eyes "how can people have hope when so much is demolished everyday?" His expression was determined as it always was with this topic "hope is just a killjoy" I paused "a fabulous killjoy"
