I want to understand your culture. I think your culture is cool. Even though, I do believe in a God. I live in Canada, and I am fascinated by other cultures and there beliefs and the stuff they don't believe in. Please answer. Thank You.

There is no specific atheist culture. Atheists are simply people who don't believe in God.
Like other people atheists do have culture and moral values, but they are not specific for atheism and vary a lot. I mean for example an atheist Canadian belongs to the same culture like a Christian Canadian, but just doesn't have the same faith like the Christian and doesn't take part in religious ceremonies, prayers and such. Still the atheist can share social and moral values with the Christian, live similarly and will probably even celebrate Christmas just for the tradition and because it is a nice holiday, but without the religious meaning.
Another atheist might be a communist (to give an extreme example) and have totally different ideals of society. They are both atheists because they don't believe in God but believe in different ideals.

Atheism isn't really a culture. Many times we only share our disbelief in the concept of god(s). Other than that, we are normal people. I am from the Texas coast. So, I imagine other than that, I don't know how much more I and an atheist from new york city would have in common.

Atheists don't have a "culture"--or a "religion"--or a set of "beliefs".History shows us that man has created over 8,000 Gods.In fact you probably have no belief in the God Zeus--so you are already an atheist towards that God--& no doubt an atheist towards the vast majority of the other Gods that man has created--Hope that helps--:]

God, or the Christian God is the Hebrew god. The Hebrew god is a mix of the Canaanite god EL and the monotheistic historic Egyptian god Aten. the distinctive memories that make up the old testomony, such because of the fact the introduction delusion and Noah's Flood, are a mix of legends from around the middle East. God isn't something greater suitable than a make have faith entity that has had distinctive character adjustments to healthful national and political ideologies. The Universe created the Human Race, and in turn, the Human Race created God and different supernatural and mythical entities.

I don't know that we have a culture.
I personally, as an atheist and a nihilist, believe that science has more to tell us about the universe than any religion.
There is no god, no soul, no afterlife, no "purpose" for humanity. We are just like the gnats, the dogs, and the monkeys, just here to recycle the free energy at the surface of the earth

What does your living in Canada have to do with it. Are Canadians so pristine they have no Atheists? Atheists simply put has no belief in God, supernatural beings or events. they have their none belief I'm sure for varying reasons. The number one reason being there is no evidence for such a belief.

There is no culture. Atheists simply do not believe in any god.

I don't really think there is an atheist "culture".
We just have one common thread -- we don't believe in god.
Other than that, we're all pretty different.
