1) Lack of belief in a god or gods.
2) No
3) No
4) I cannot be entirely sure, but there is no evidence for the positive contrary position, and using Occam's razor, the more simple answer is that there is no god
5) See above
6) Reality that is not subjective
7) Lack of evidence for theism, which is a claim position
8) Don't know, don't care
9) Atheism is a view on whether deities exist or not, and nothing else.
10) Interferes where it should not, such as on people's human rights. Also in some places breeds ignorance and hate.
11) A lack of consistency in it's own claims and the disparity between today's morals and those of the Bible.
12) Yes. Or rather, religion does nothing to improve it, for the most part.
13) Yes.
14) No
15) Yes. Why should a claim about a supernatural being get special treatment?
16) Immaterial is inconsequential. If it is not in the material world, it has no bearing on it.
17) Biologically speaking, the aim of the human race is to preserve the human race. No "greater" purpose stuff.
18) N/A
19) In my opinion, it is a side effect of empathy.
20) I don't think so. There are some almost universally agreed upon bad things, such as murder or theft, but no absolutes, i.e murder may not necessarily be bad (could be killing for a good reason, or for a net "good" outcome)
21) N/A
22) No, in that I do not believe that there are things or people that are wholly bad or wholly good, apart from things designed with an bad purpose (e.g mass extermination chambers)
23) My morals
24) Falsifiable and undeniable proof for his existence
25) No idea. I couldn't care less if someone wants to prove the existence of god.
26) Rational, falsifiable, like the standards any good science should be held up to.
27) Atheists, since as a group, atheists have no particular bias towards or against other groups. Christians are necessarily biased against gays, atheists, muslims etc, since their holy book says groups that disagree will be punished for eternity
28) Free will within biological restrictions
29) See above
30) We've had lots of time to evolve further - there is no evidence (at least for our brains) to suggest we have.
