To Will:
Based on the answers, very few seem to know.
The only thing atheists have in common is we don't believe a Supreme Being exists. Why we don't believe is irrelevant. For me it is lack of evidence, but, the reason is unimportant.

To Nomark:
I was asking about atheists, not theists.
You described theists.

Depends on what you mean by 'atheist'
Heehee

ONLY the conviction that there is no god, and anything that comes from that (like never going to church, or praying). Nothing else.
-Some atheists hate the church, others ignore it.
-Some atheists despise believers, others don't.
-Some atheists are intellectual, others aren't.
-Some atheists are left-winged, others aren't.
-Some atheists are politically aware, others aren't.
-Some atheists are open-minded, others aren't.
There is nothing else I could find among ALL atheists, other than a common opinion about God (not even about religions).

Only one as you have stated but saying you do need not a reason to;( not believe) is contradictory.
You ask for evidence of existence, but yet do not want to verify your claims of non-existence.
You are very quick to judge an answer that does not fit your profile.

Noses, ears, mouths, excretory orifices, brains with which to decide such matters, and a fair amount of courage to swim against the cultural tied.

Nothing is one.
That is not calculable math.
Nothing cannot equal something or the 1.
So there reasonably cannot be an answer.

Pretty much nothing except lack of belief in god....there is no "atheist culture".

I'm gonna go with: disbelief in the existence of a deity. That's probably all that they (we?) have as a group.

Lack of commonsense and intellectual pride which leads to spiritual blindness, preventing them from seeing and understanding the truth even when it is staring them in the face.

Human, don't believe in god or gods, have a view on religion
That's all I can think of.

As an atheist, don't you know what you have in common with other atheists?
