I'm an atheist.
Hmmm, how about... Thoughtfulness, altruism, and humor.
Almost everything else can fit under those.

First of all , I'm a non-believer. The virtues that I follow one hundred percent - - - one hundred percent of the time, are Honesty, truthfulness, loyalty, generosity, helpfulness, trust, willingness to help, hard work, non-complainer, avoider of gossip, Strict hygiene, practice self improvement, self control, never use vulgarity or profanity.etc.
I have to say that I can be annoyed by those who say that the church teaches morals, so if you're a non-believer, you must be immoral. Morals reflect a person's honor and integrity, not his religious belief.

I guess I'm something along the lines of an atheist, I don't put much thought into titles.
I think goodness is a virtue, a general positive person. Someone who lives wholesomely, treats things with respect.
I suppose that's it, respect is the #1 virtue. All things branch from that.

As a Wiccan: mirth, reverence, honour, humility, strength, beauty, power and compassion. These are drawn from "The Charge of the Goddess" by Doreen Valiente.
