Crossword Genius

Unbeliever is at the assembly (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

atheist

'unbeliever' is the definition.
(atheist is a kind of unbeliever)

'is at the assembly' is the wordplay.
'assembly' indicates an anagram.
'is'+'at'+'the'='isatthe'
'isatthe' with letters rearranged gives 'ATHEIST'.

(Other definitions for atheist that I've seen before include "One who disbelieves the existence of gods" , "One who does not believe in the existence of a god" , "Godless person" , "I don't believe" , "One denies the existence of a god" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail and The Telegraph.
