There are several reasons that people may have for being atheists, agnostics, or otherwise nonreligious. Be warned that these reasons are not mutually exclusive; it is possible to be several types at once. One can be a philosophical or a scientific atheist who has decided to act like a nihilistic atheist. These types were listed by Lucie K.B. Hall, and later elaborated by myself (lpetrich) in discussions in various messageboards. Proud atheism and depressed atheism are also common stereotypes; atheists are either too arrogant to believe in religion, or else they are glum and depressed.
