Educate me.

Answer 1

Being morally sound. Being a good person and expanding our minds. Being open to everything but relying on facts as truth.  

Answer 2

well, me persoanlly wise duck i beleive anythings possible in the realms of spirituality,

except god,

i dont believe in god because there is no logic to his existence or description and because a being of that kind is improbable to exist, there is no balance and no reality in this idea of the perfect god

i leave room for most other spiritual things because they have logic and possibility, reality, balance and understanding on their side,

Themselves.

Answer 6

I lack belief in gods.

That's the whole shebang.  

Answer 7

I believe in my OWN abilities, not the ones, induced by *faith*

Answer 8

Because atheism is merely the lack of belief in any deities, this means that we don't have a common belief system or anything, many of us will have quite a lot in common such as our regard for scientific endeavor and discovery, and a penchant for the truth, but no one of us can really speak for the rest.

I believe in human curiosity, our abilities to survive, to learn and understand about the way the universe functions, that human society has the ability to improve, function better, and more fairly and that our endeavors should be aimed towards leaving a better, fairer, more peaceful and well informed world to the next generation, but I can speak only for myself, other atheists might think I'm completely bonkers or just plain dumb, I don' t know & it doesn't matter:) :)

Answer 13

Let's see I believe we should mandate Evolution taught in schools, and tolerance for all humans including g**s.

and honestly I don't care where we go when I die. Worm food for all I know.

For some reason after reading books by Carl Sagan everything made sense to me.

I read the book by Carl Sagan "Demon Haunted World"

Answer 14

they're own morals.

we set ourselves standards and such and follow them, depending on a situation.

apparently they're called 'situation ethics'. or err... 'utilitarianism', trying to make as many people happy as possible.

we don't need to constantly believe in anything really.
