What are the beliefs of an Atheist?

Answer 1

Answer
As stated previously there is no organized belief system. Atheists are largely independent (free thinkers) and there is not strong organization although there are a few groups. Answer
Atheism is not an organized belief system - indeed it rejects faith as as useful way of understanding; it has no teachings.
To assume that atheists have common beliefs is to misunderstand what atheism is. Atheists simply don't hold a belief in god(s). That is all. Atheists reject faith-based belief and instead tend to rely on empirical (testable, repeatable) evidence.
Answer

The above is correct. Atheism has no teachings: it is simply the position which reasonable people take when confronted by religion. Atheists assume nothing. There are good atheists and bad atheists. But the only thing which could be said to be a "teaching" would be this: "don't believe what anyone tells you without checking the facts and thinking about it for yourself." That's it. if you do that, and you do it thoroughly, then you'll be an atheist.
Whatever else you are is up to you.

Answer

As noted before, atheism is not an organized belief system and has no teachings; however, in general, atheists would agree with the principles of secular Humanism.

Note: atheist does not = secular humanist

Answer 2

I believe there is only one tenant of atheism, and that is to not believe in the existence of a supreme being.

There are no direct tenants of how to act or what to think, but derived from the belief there is no god many atheists attempt to logically decide how to live day to day.

Answer 3

Essentially Atheism is the rejection of beliefs. However if one narrowed it down, the chief belief would be that no deities exist. There are a few different approaches, historical, social and philosophical. However one key argument is known as Pascal's Wager where one should live life as is if god does exist, then if He does't the atheist hasn't lost out, but if He does exist, they would be rewarded.

Answer 4

The lengthy list of typical atheist beliefs is:

• There is no god or gods

After this atheists, as individuals, may believe or not believe in anything they chose from the existence of aliens to the best flavour of ice cream.

Answer 5

Atheism is the rejection of all currently made god claims. Beyond that there is no core belief system. There are numerous categories of Atheists who add belief systems to create a moral system since the religious moral system is no longer applicable.

The most prominent type of Atheists today are Rationalist Skeptics who believe that empirical results and the scientific method can be used to determine whether something is true or false and that information can be plugged into some sort of utilitarian system in order to determine its morality. Another type of Atheists are the State-Religionists, who believe in the validity of the founding ideals of a state or a political system as being the arbiter of moral justice. State-Religionists are usually termed as "nationalists" or "patriots" and have been behind most of the major democides of the 20th century, the Soviet democide, the Chinese democide, the Cambodian democide, etc. North Korea's Juche is often considered to be a state-religion which has actually crossed back into a Theistic Faith since it deifies Kim Il-Sung and his progeny. Still another type of Atheist is the Apatheist, which is person who does not believe in gods because he or she does not care to investigate the question, seeing it as irrelevant. The largest number of Apatheists are Atheist Buddhists, since the Buddha was himself an Apatheist according to his own writings. There are many other Atheist groups, but these are the most common.

Answer 6

Atheists simply disbelieve in gods and other super-natural beings and phenomena.

Answer 7

There is/are no god(s).

Beyond that as in any belief system, there are many forms of Atheism each with somewhat different details in belief.
