Let me just stop you there…

Atheism HAS no tenets.

It's a purely descriptive term: it describes the absence of a belief in god(s). That's all.

There are no rules to follow, no membership requirements as there's nothing to be a member OF.

Atheism is not a "belief system" or even a "belief". It's the absence of a specific belief. It's not athe-ism. It's a-theism. No theism. That's all.

An atheist can believe or disbelieve anything (s)he likes above and beyond this.
