I think their ideals are to be good, fair people. They are very logical. Everything has to be scientific....well, MOST things, as love cannot be proven. They have faith in one another, but that faith is based on evidence and on what has happened in the past.
They are just like other people, but they do not believe in God or in any gods. There are atheists who are good people, and there are atheists who are mean, cruel people.

There are Christians who are good people and there are those who say they are Christians who are mean as well.


Is this what you are asking?

From the thoughtful atheists I know, their ideals are to create their own meaning in life, find solutions for the world's problems through science, and wrestle with the tough questions of life, particularly how we got here, what our purpose on earth is, and why there is so little justice in the world.

There are also not-so-thoughtful or emotionally-motivated self-proclaimed atheists who say they're atheists without having thought their beliefs through. Their ideals seem more set on arguing with Christians in particular (many whom I admit often don't really dialog well with people who believe differently), disproving anything connected to faith or spirituality, etc. People like this whom I know are often not really so much atheists as they are just mad at their idea of God for not behaving in a certain way--i.e. they feel they were let down at one time in their past when they tried to have faith and were disappointed.

Then there are people like the famous Ivan Karamazov...who are thoughtful atheists who are more mad at the injustice and suffering in the world and are mad at God because of it.

Atheist ideals?

I was unaware that atheists had more than one ideal. The only ideal atheists have (to my knowledge) is that they have no beliefs in any gods.

Hi,
I am a Christian by upbringing, and even ring the local church bells, but what bugs me about Christmas is the whole commercial attitude, which of course is designed simply to make a profit.
I don't think Jesus would be happy about it all.
Upset he market traders stalls and all that.
Anyway, historians have worked out somehow that if we hadn't tinkered with the calendar, he was born on March 21st
year dot.

Oh, I join in on the seasonal festivities, not a grumpy, just logical about it all.

Do they all have the same ideals? That would be a surprise.

Well, if you listen to the atheists here they are all free-thinkers, highly educated and highly intelligent. I agree that some are, but you have that among Christians also. Seems like none want to identify with the blue-collar atheists, as if they are somehow inferior. That comes around as being rather arrogant, not only against Christians, but against other atheists as well. What the difference between holier-than-thou and more-intelligent-than-thou?

Atheists don't believe in a God.... They don't believe in worshipping anything. How could there be any ideals that follow that other than believing that we just are?
