There is no "we" there is no movement nor thrust to being an atheist. What you want is Secular Humanism which does have a thrust although it is pretty loose weave, "Humans are important and we don't need religion." As you can see, not much of a framework. Many objectively good things emanate from the idea of increasing well-being for humans, even withing moral relativism.

Excellent point. I’m personally acquainted with an atheist who takes astrology and Tarot cards seriously.
