Haven't heard an accurate definition yet. Too many people are saying a lack of belief in god. Two problems with this:
1. we do not lack anything, and 'a' means 'non' or 'not'
2. the word god is a Germanic-Christian invention from the 14th century (ish) and there are many faiths which would claim to worship magical deities but not gods.
A correct definition of Atheism would be:
A non-belief in a deity or deities.
