Someone has just suggested that there's such a thing as "atheist dogma".
dogma: a specific tenet or doctrine authoritatively laid down
doctrine: a body or system of teachings relating to a particular subject
So...... what body / system of teachings is derived from atheism?

The atheist dogma is that we must never question the coolness of our secret handshakes and the wittiness of our t-shirt slogans.

dog·ma
1.a system of principles or tenets, as of a church.
2.a specific tenet or doctrine authoritatively laid down, as by a church: the dogma of the Assumption.
3.prescribed doctrine: political dogma.
4.a settled or established opinion, belief, or principle.
It's such a loaded word. "Dogma" really implies that other people are forced to accept certain beliefs or teachings, or at the very least expected to. I think that atheists are atheists because they have a particular world view, I don't think they have that world view because they are atheists.
Atheists don't really lay down anything authoritatively, nor do they really teach from the perspective of atheism. I think that atheism is derived from certain systems, rather than the other way around. The principles of logic and the scientific method inform atheism, but atheism does not teach adherence to the scientific method.

A canine mother that does not believe in reading backwards. In the Bible when it says "save my darling from the dog". the ma is assumed. Silent if you will. It should read "save my darling from the dogma." But David did not write it that way in the Psalm because he thought it sounded too much like a bad bumper sticker. Hope this helps.

There is none. All that being an atheist means is that you don't believe in a God.
A-theist:
A=without
theist=God
There is no doctrine; there are no teachings. There are no rules to follow. There is no system to live by--you just don't believe in a God.

I admit that "atheist" would not fall lower than the hands ok, yet i do not get it both. there's a spell checker suitable there ---> if you happen to write "athiest" yet no longer something can help you with undesirable grammar. *puzzles*.

I'm not sure what is DERIVED from atheism, but
atheism generally depends heavily on science.
Indeed, most atheists would believe in God if
you could show them proof that would withstand
scientific scrutiny.

I think it would be something along the lines of demanding evidence for beliefs.
