Why would anyone try? Atheism isn't a philosophy.
Kyu
Atheism is most definitely a phylosophy with it's philosophers ,writers ,politicians,scientists and most of all it's people who see in it's principles a part of their spiritual life.
Atheists are not only academic debaters who speak from the height of the cathedra against believers in God.
By expressing their views within circles of friends,family or community ,atheists are a sort of propagandists not far in principle from propagators of all kind of philosophic ideas.
The very existence of this forum as well of other forums of that kind in many countries demonstrate the wide spread ideas of atheism.
Let's not forget that atheism is official politics in China ,Cuba and was as such in the former communist world.
I don't see any reason of denying the possibility of appearance in the future of an atheistic book comprising philosophic,moral ,social ideas as guide for atheists.
