David Silverman is the current president of the American Atheists, a non-profit organization that supports the rights of atheists and the removal of expressions of religion in public when possibly interpretable as governmental endorsement, in accordance with the
First Amendment of the
United States Constitution.
David Silverman began publicly challenging religion in high school and often states in interviews that he became an atheist at the age of six.Although he was never in the closet about his disbelief, he was forced to do his
Bar mitzvah. He calls this the turning
point in his life where he decided never to lie about his atheism again because he had gotten up on stage and told all the people he knew that he believed in God.
Seventeen years later his father admitted to him that he also was an atheist. He received a
Bachelor's degree in
Computer Science from
Brandeis University and a
Marketing MBA from
Penn State University. Silverman is an inventor with seventy four patents, and has authored several articles, including a cover story for

Atheist Viewpoint television program, writes for the NoGodBlog, attends protests, debates and conferences for atheism and freethought, across the country.
Atheism is not a disbelief in gods or a denial of gods; it is a lack of belief in gods.
Older dictionaries define atheism as "a belief that there is no God."
An agnostic is one who believes it impossible to know anything about God or about
the creation of the universe and refrains from commitment to any religious doctrine. An atheist is one who denies the existence of a deity or of divine beings.
Theist, Deist, Atheist, Agnostic. A theist believes there is a God who made and governs all creation; but does not believe in the doctrine of the
Trinity, nor in a divine revelation. A deist believes there is a God who created all things, but does not believe in His superintendence and government.
