Nothing. They rely on so called ''proof'' on everything.

It's almost as ridiculous for one atheist to speak for "the group" as it is for one Christian - almost, but not quite. Because the "atheist" as such has only one defining belief, which is that God does not exist. He's free to hold a diversity of opinions on a diversity of other topics.
The "Christian," meanwhile, is required to believe all sorts of nutty things as mandated by his particular cult. It's not just "God exists;" it's "God in the form of a Dove begot Himself upon a virgin 2,000 years ago" and all the rest of the yarn. Therefore the Christian is pitifully easy game for the skeptic. There are a thousand absolutely legitimate ways to demolish Christianity. Of course, the same could be said of any positive belief system, even one involving beliefs that are not antecedently absurd.

a)I believe in everyone's right to believe in what they wish.
b)I believe that (a) does not extend to requiring anyone to believe as you believe, nor does it permit you to undermine, obstruct, or otherwise jeopardize my right to also enjoy the benefits of (a)
c) To ensure (a) and (b) I believe in a separation of Church and State.
d) I believe that science should be taught in science class, and mandatory religious indoctrination does not belong in the school system or the workplace.
e) I believe that questioning, debating, criticizing and even ridiculing the belief system of another person (particularly in a voluntary forum designed for just such discourse) can in no way be considered "persecution".
f) I believe that everyone (including myself) is responsible for their own words and actions, and every should accept the consequences of both.
g) I believe that morality, decency, honour and compassion transcend all faith or belief systems
h) I believe that Contact Bridge is NOT an Olympic sport, and whoever came up with the idea that it was is an idiot.
i) I believe Paris Hilton should just do her time and shut the hell up about it already.
j) I believe it's lunch time--furthermore I believe that potato salad is in my immediate future.
That's all for now.

I am an atheist and I believe that tolerance is a good idea in general. I believe that humans should treat each other nicely. I believe that human individuals have one life, and only one, and therefore should make the best of it.

We do not 'believe'.
We do not 'believe' in science and logic, not by the exact definition of the word. I would say that we have trust in science and logic.
As a Christian why do you reject all the other gods? There is as much evidence for the Greek gods as there is for the Judeo-Christian one.

No gods. That is the only common belief.
If I can generalize for a moment most of "r ppl" believe in proper grammar.

About what, what do we believe about what.
I have noticed that most of the religious people seldom form complete sentences or questions.
I do not know why this is, or whether it is a cause or an effect of their apparent difficulties in dealing with the real world.
If you do not ask specific questions you will not get specific answers.

I don't know if I really qualify as an 'athiest', but I don't believe in the bible, jesus christ, or the christian concept of 'god'.
There might be some higher intelligence in the universe, but I don't think it takes the form that most religions claim it does.

Really atheism is a poor term to use because it means i define myself with a non belief.
There is not a single uniting set of beliefs. However we mainly require proof that is scientific IE must be based on experimentation and/or observation.

I believe in Evolution and that there is no god. If you have to worship something, worship the Sun and the Moon, they are what give the Earth and everything on it, it's cycle of life.

I don't believe in any gods. But I do believe we should try to be good people. Not because we will suffer if we don't, but just because we should.
