                          Do any people in the Bible self identify as atheists?

Or are they all theists, differing in *which* god they follow?

Apparently at least some atheists existed, since David had heard of them:

> The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.” 

[Psalm 14:1](http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Psalm+14:1&version=NIV1984)  and [Psalm 53:1](http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Psalm+53:1&version=NIV1984) .
