Right, what if Atheist did take over the world, what would be their basic political policies or beliefs. Are Atheist beliefs or doctrine even writen down anywhere! Maybe someone should make the Atheist Political Party (APP)

Oh for goodness sake! Here we go yet AGAIN----_

There is no such thing as 'an atheist position" on any topic except the non existence of gods.NOTHING ELSE IS IMPLIED OR MAY BE INFERRED.

Atheism is NOT

a Religion

a belief system

a moral or ethical code

a political ideology

a movement

a club or association.

There is no such thing as 'an atheist spokesperson'. People such as Richard Dawkins and Chris Hitchens are NOT stating 'atheist positions' on ANYTHING. They are stating personal opinions based on their views as skeptics and free thinkers.

If atheists took over the world you wouldn't notice any difference in your daily life. Good people will always be good people and bad people will always be able to find justification for ANY action,just as they always have.

Atheists by definition do not have any basic political policies or beliefs. Atheism isn't a political party, and so atheists can easily belong to any political party you can think of. That includes conservative, democrat, liberal, communist, socialist, capitalist, marxist, statist, authoritarian, individualist, collectivist, libertarian, etc, etc.

Quote:Are Atheist beliefs or doctrine even writen down anywhere!

There aren't any atheist beliefs of doctrines, but the definition of an atheist has been written down:

"Person who does not believe in a God or Gods"

How about...NO.

Why not?

It's better to form a political party around a set of ideals or a methodology rather than a lack of belief in a certain idea, it would be like having a non-communist party, that, while being full of people who are against communism, would also have leftist socialists, libertarians, right wing authoritarians, etc leading to a pretty pathetic attempt at a cohesive set of policies.

An Atheist party would be much the same, having left-wing, right-wing and liberals in a party all arguing over small issues that an ideal-based party would have at least a near uniform acceptance of.

This forum stands as living proof of the fact that solidarity in religious beliefs by no means equates to solidarity in political ones. Just look at the number of political debates we've had, pitting socialist against capitalist against moderate.

I can't believe I watched it and then read all the posts.
Is there something I should be doing elsewhere?
Who cares - God is no match for our superior weapons!! We will unite, fight, and destroy the army of christian soldiers. They have no chance; bows and arrows against the machines they'll yell, the war will end when the last survivors are standing there after being witness to no help from "god", thinking god will surely help me . . . won't he!? HE MUST!! GOD AND ME ARE PALS; AREN'T WE GOD????!
