Quote:Personally I think atheism can't have any values because it itself is a "lack of belief", so atheism by itself is simply the lack of something, even still it's still about perspective, a lack of something can still be seen as an addition of something else.I don't know about the end there, but as to atheism not being a value system...ofc it's not.
Quote:My question is, are there any atheistic values based on say science or reason? If yes, what are they? If no, suppose you could make certain values atheistic values then what would those be?Sure. Most value theories, most of your own "christian" value theory is as atheistic as mine.
