Pythagoras discovered eternal truths in mathematics. While his religious teachings, based around these eternal truths, are no longer followed in the modern world, mathematics is seen philosophically as based on provable truths, acceptable to theists and atheists alike.
Atheists are likely to accept what science teaches, as are most theists. However, not everything that science teaches is an eternal truth, in that scientists are constantly attempting to challenge accepted theories and will update them in the light of new information. Some theists take this as a weakness of science and cherry-pick the science they are willing to accept and those they refuse to accept, often on spurious grounds.
Ethics ought also be a fertile ground for eternal truths, since every age believes that what is right to do will always be right to do, and what is wrong to do will always be wrong to do. Some theists claim the high moral ground because their God gives them immutable guidance on what is right. However, a study of, for example, Christian ethics shows how teachings have both changed and diversified over the centuries. An extreme example is how slavery was once thought consistent with Christianity, even approved in The Bible, but is now considered abhorrent.
If we exclude faith-based 'truths' that can not be shared by atheists, and indeed are not even shared by all theists, there are few eternal truths outside mathematics and, to some extent, science.
Theists and atheists do not share a body of eternal truths. Theists find eternal truth in their internal beliefs that a supernatural entity has always been there and will always be there controlling human destiny. That perspective requires faith- the belief that something is true in the absence of proof. Truth does not require faith. It is based on fact. Atheists are more likely to find truth in external, observable phenomena such as in the workings of the Universe.
By definition, eternal truths must be true to both atheists and theists - and anyone in between. However, philosophers are divided about whether there are any eternal truths.
Buddhists do not believe in a single, omniscient God. The Buddhist understanding of the universe includes a recognition that there are a lot of aspects of this universe, this reality, that we don't understand. Through analytical meditation and other practices we can understand the deeper truths about this reality; truths that can't be understood with our every day minds. When we reach enlightenment we will understand it, and until then there is no reason to believe that there either is or isn't a God. Buddhists aren't atheists, but they also aren't theists.

Platonism is a traditional philosophy that advocates for the belief that ideals, values, and truths are universal, eternal, and unchanging. According to Plato, these forms exist independently of individual interpretations and perceptions.
In the human brain and/or in nature. I just finished learning about this in lit class!
Many religions claim that truth is-For example, that heaven or hell is eternal, or that God's truths are eternal.That's a question we will never really know for sure until we die, but all you can do is study different ways of thought and believe what you feel is most right.
Plato believed that the human mind had innate knowledge and understanding. He saw the mind as the seat of reason and wisdom, capable of attaining truths through philosophical inquiry and contemplation. Plato thought that the mind had a direct connection to the world of forms, which represented perfect and eternal truths.
No, Plato was not an empiricist. He believed that knowledge is innate and that the soul remembers eternal truths through contemplation. Plato's philosophy emphasized the importance of reason and rational inquiry over sensory experience.
Don't know but many Jews (including myself) identify with his message because it resonates with many of the teachings of the Torah. Not on purpose, I don't think, but simply because these are just eternal truths.
Plato believed that memory was a passive process of recollection of knowledge gained from the soul's pre-existing experiences in a previous life. He saw memory as a means to access eternal truths and knowledge.
