The boast of an atheist is they have decided that there is no God or have rejected a belief, faith or trust in God. That the Eternal Almighty, creator and sustainer of life, does not exist.
And then we have a scripture:
‘’Because that which may be known of Elohim is manifest in them: for Elohim hath shown it unto them.
For the invisible things of Him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, clearly seen being understood by the things that are made, both his eternal power and Divinity; so that they are inexcusable’’.
What has happened over the years is the true meaning of 'atheist' has been ignored and so the atheist has raised himself onto the same lofty pedestal of free will as the Arminian.
The Arminian declares his will being free to allow him to seek, choose and obtain salvation.
While the atheist declares his sovereign will and decision in denying the existence of Deity.
Both those claims are false.
Atheist means without Theos / without God / without Elohim. Just as amoral means without morals. ‘A’ as a prefix means without.
The question must be asked, why is the person who declares himself atheist, without Theos?
Is it because the power of the atheist is greater than that of the Almighty? Or is it because the Almighty has left the person without saving grace, without saving knowledge and without trust. It is of course the latter. He predetermined them to be atheist even if they follow a religious path, read the Bible, sing hymns, go to church and perform spiritual somersaults they are on the broad road that leads to destruction..without Elohim.
The boast of the atheist that there is no God is as empty as an old husk, because the word atheist means something completely different to what they have been taught. The atheist is without Theos, because they have been left in that state and what a terrible state it is to be atheist in the world and without hope, true and lasting hope. They appear before the Son in false hope and hear the words, ''depart for me I never, ever knew you''. Atheist.
I would add that the term atheist is used once in scripture, by Paul, and is translated into English.
There are great numbers, a vast number who profess a form of saving religion, but are in fact atheist, without Yah Shua Messiah (Jesus Christ) and he will say to them in the last day, depart from me I never knew you.
