Regardless of atheism which is defined as rejection of god and nothing else, I'm only interested to hear from you atheists simply as humans what might be any of your examples in regulating discipline in yourselves and on your kids (if you're parents).
Definition of atheism
1 a: a lack of belief or a strong disbelief in the existence of a god or any gods
b: a philosophical or religious position characterized by disbelief in the existence of a god or any gods
Humanism is quite compatible with deism or any deity that doesn't unambiguously reveal itself. The point of Humanism is that we can't appeal to 'what God wants' as a basis for ethics and morality; not that there is no God (or gods). So it's not 'inherently atheistic', just very popular among atheists. At least no more atheistic than a plumber's manual, in that the existence of God is irrelevant to the matter at hand.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
