Welcome.
Umm no offence, ,but is English your second language? Is there something you don't grasp about atheism being a lack of belief in god(s), period"? NOTHING else is implied or may be inferred.
There is no such thing as "an atheist culture" nor can there be by definition. The word "culture" is broad,but simply means "that which is taken for granted". Amongst atheists you will find vastly divergent views, philosophies and ideologies,but no consensus. Not even, it seems, on definitions.
People such as Richard Dawkins write of their world views, which include atheism,but are not representative of all atheists. I'm not overly impressed by Dawkins;he's no Bertram Russell. (one the few thinkers who have knocked my socks off)
