I suppose I really should have clarified that Atheists don't believe in nothing no. They all usually believe in something, whether you consider that something to be a set of morals, or whether or not they believe in the big bang theory or both or.. well whatever. It's still something. By not believing in anything, I meant that they don't believe in a God or Gods or Goddess ext.
And you're totally right about the set of beliefs, I hope my post didn't come across like that. Being a Satanist, I don't really believe or care about whether or not there is a higher power or deity. Instead, Satanists usually abide by the same or similar codes or morals and such. Though they're not always the same, they vary from person to person (which is why I love it. lol)
So anyway. I pretty much agree with everything you said, just was awful at clarifying what I meant. I was hardly paying attention lol
Take me seriously.
I dare you.
