I quote this answer from a question I posted moments ago:
"Dismiss what beliefs? As an atheist, you believe in nothing. I don't know how to take "nothing" seriously. If you believe there is no God, then fine. But how do you expect people to take your beliefs seriously when you don't believe in anything spiritually?"
Atheism is, by definition, a lack of belief in God(s)/deities. This does not insinuate that we believe in nothing or hold no beliefs what so ever. I, personally, am a spiritual atheist. The Buddhist religion is a non-theistic religion but still holds spiritual beliefs for example. Do you think that simply because we do not prescribe to religious dogma or believe in personal gods and deities that we hold no beliefs at all?
It seems that many confuse atheism with nihilism. Please read the below definitions:
