An atheist believes that there is no god. While there have been many books written about the philosophy of atheists, there is no athiest bible.

Atheism is not a religion, therefore there is no religious book. Atheists do not believe that there is a man living in a cloud. They feel that somethings wrong with a god concept that has taken over 100 million lives and encourages the followers to ignore the never ending genocide. Atheists wonder why religious people will protest the taking of life from; war, the death penalty, abortion, etc but when it comes to the killing in the name of God, they look the other way. They know why God never intervened when thousands of children were being molested by priests. Because there is no man living in a cloud. Atheists are aware of how all religions hide the fact that for thousands of years God was always considered to be a woman, aka, Goddess. Somewhere around the time that Judaism got it's start, religion gave itself the power to change God's gender into a man. Religion uses its power over God because they themselves know that there is no man living in a cloud to object, but they want to continue to receive the $3 billion a year in donations.

No, there's no atheist religious book. There are plenty of books about atheism, but they aren't religious books and reading them is not a component of atheism. Atheism is just the lack of a belief in a god or gods.

What's there to tell you about.
Atheism has no religious book. The only thing that makes you an atheist if if you do not believe in God. That is the only requirement.
The only people who believe that atheism is a religion are religious people who have a God.

Atheism is just a "belief" that there are no gods. So pretty much, it's a non-belief, so there is no religious book, because they're well... Free thinkers, as mentioned above. Well, we do read books. But we don't always agree with them. For example, the book by Charles Darwin. Some may say, "That sounds right, that all sounds real!" But others may say, "Hmm... Doesn't really sound right..." So it's all about your OWN opinion.

We don't have a religion, so there's no book. There are books arguing for God's non-existence, but because we're freethinking individuals, we read them critically, and don't necessarily agree on everything they say. Richard Dawkins's much-publicized book The God Delusion, for instance, is a good enough argument but turns into some lazy cul-de-sacs when he doesn't want to pursue something that may be intuitively true (to an atheist) to a more categorical conclusion. This may not bother some of his readers as much as it does me. It's worth reading though.
So look in your library and see what you like the look of. It may not be the same as anyone else. There's no dogma around here.

We got our inspiration from reading bible and other religious books, and found all are falsified and fallacious to be even dared to classified as religion by so many blinds.

Not really. The Flying Spaghetti Monster is a mock religion followed by some atheists.

Well, in case you haven't realized it by now, atheism isn't a religion and therefore isn't dogmatic.
So no.
