Atheists turning to cult behaviour?

[SoFarEast]

As has been said a million times. Atheism is nothing more than the disbelief in a higher being. It's not an organisation and it's certainly not a religion. People defining themselves as atheists have greatly differing opinions on most other aspects of life.

So in short, I don't know what you're getting at.

You quoted what I was trying to get at. To rephrase,

Should pure atheism be necessarily followed up by a few humanistic principles?

If atheistm isn't about anything then why get together in conferences? And if you are getting together, why not for something positive?
