There are no atheist ideas because atheists speak the truth and truth is only one, so that's why atheism is very repetitive. For atheism you only need some common sense, some knowledge and awareness, and for people that are not ready to think, there are books from atheists that explain it to them like Sagan, Harris, Dawkins, Hitchens and many more, and they're all pretty much the same. And if religious people would bother to read any of their books, this forum, as any atheism discussion, would be redundant.
But no, religious people let other people stop them from getting to know what is in their books by listening to charlatans who tell lies about those books and atheists, who also flatter them so they feel like they are experts about those atheists although they never read any of those books by atheists, and therefore poisoning the well.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
