Core Tenets of Atheism
The 15 Core Tenets of Orthodox Atheism! By Bryan Melugin - Creation Today
It doesn’t take a deep search into social media to find a person who self identifies as an Atheist, but what IS an atheist? And what are the core tenets of the atheistic belief system?
The 15 Core Tenets of Orthodox Atheism!
First, let’s define a few terms.
Atheist: [from the Latin for “no god/s.”] Very simply, an atheist is an individual who chooses to affirm the statement, “There are no gods,” as true.
This needs to be distinguished from Agnostic, which comes from the Latin for “no knowledge.” This doesn’t mean they are completely ignorant, but their position is, “I do not have the information it takes to take a position.” (Also known as, “I don’t know,” or in Mythbusters terms, “Plausible.”)
While Agnosticism is an admission of ignorance, not actually a position, Atheism begins by asserting the truth-claim, “There are no gods.”
The following list is the series of beliefs which a consistent Atheist must hold. Of course they can choose to reject any of them, but that makes them a heretic, I suppose, or maybe just a hypocrite; but we can discuss that some other time. The point is that these tenets logically flow from one to the other.
We begin with the very Creed which defines the Atheist belief system...

Five Atheist miracles (or materialists believe in magic) by Don Batten - Creation Ministries International
Atheists often promote themselves as intelligent, logical, scientific, rational, etc. They even had a proposal to call themselves ‘brights’! The aggressive ‘new Atheists’, such as Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris and company, like to portray those of us who believe in a supernatural Creator as irrational, unscientific, unintelligent, ignorant, or even ‘needing help’ (Dawkins). The entertainment industry often reinforces these perceptions by portraying ‘religious’ people (Christians particularly, and especially church leaders) as buffoons or hillbillies (almost never as a university professor, for example).

What is Atheism? - Creation.com Talk Podcast
What Is Atheism? Lack of belief in God or a denial that God exists? Can atheists explain the origin of the universe, life, rationality, or morality? Keaton Halley and Dr Jonathan Sarfati explain why the revisionist definition of atheism as a “lack of belief” is just a gimmick to shift the burden of proof. It’s not only mistaken, but a dishonest debate trick. Atheists have a burden of proof that they cannot sustain, because the evidence for God from creation is plain to all. In fact, it is so clear that those who deny it are “without excuse” (Romans 1:18–20).
