Serious question.

In the R&S context the 'atheistic' creed is similar to the Christian one in the sense of being unjustifiably concerned with the spiritual beliefs of others.
The 'fellowship' of the RS atheistic followers use precisely the methods they hate in followers of the Christian creed to perpetuate their own creed:
1] Insisting on giving unasked for advice.
2] Making pronouncements about the truth, or falsehoods in the beliefs of others
3] Congregational [ganging up, mutual support, feeding frenzy] attacks on the beliefs they claim to be unconcerned about because of their own disbelief.
4] Submersion in the ego involvement of their own beliefs.
5] Certainty in what they believe to a degree as to create a 'faith condition'
6] Willingness to deride other faiths for their lack of 'proof' and logic, while not examining their own, similar faith, for proof and logic.

I don't believe in god/gods or anything supernatural.
But that is just my non-belief.
Other people who are also atheists, may have a different definition.
Other than that, there is no creed. If you want to know "how" an atheist behaves you would have to look at each one individually.
Unless they also declare they are a humanist, then this would tell you a little bit more about how they feel about things.

atheist is simply an atheist, there is no creed, there are no atheist rules or any such nonsense. In fact the term itself is nonsense. It defines us by what we aren't, that doesn't mean i'm going to stop being an atheist it just means anyone is a fool if they try to think of me an atheist, or call me an atheist or think it means anything. For example you're not a battleship, it would be silly of me to define you as "not a battleship", then i would ask you "what is your code for not being a battleship?" And you would look at me like i was an idiot, and that's how i look at you.

I'm not an Atheist but I think you're talking about the Atheist's Wager.

there is no god an I am his prophet ???
seriously, it would be good if it containd some reference to tolerance and compassion toward believers, but I have no idea what the creed should be. Perhaps it should also address the fundamental problem everyone is facing, we simply *do not know* most things with any certainty.
A very interesting question indeed.

Creeds are for religions. They are those chants you repeat to keep you brainwashed.
