My atheism comes as a bundle with:
Agnosticism
Skepticism
Anti-religious sentiment
Nihilism
Materialism/Physicalism
Evolution
A high view of science (scientism?)
Left/ Liberal/ Progressive Politics
Not believing in moral realism
Not believing in freewill
Etc.
Does your atheism tie into other things, or does it stand alone?
Not really. I reject agnosticism, I think many people take skepticism too far, and I think nihilism and scientism are jokes. I think I'd still be pro-science and leftist if I were religious. I decline to hate religious people for being religious.
I think the only thing that comes part and parcel with my atheism is that it frees up my Sunday mornings for other stuff.
