The nuance of the first part eludes me. As for the second, based on the time I have participated, I have noticed common beliefs among atheist members of AF. Strictly defined, atheism is indeed simply a lack of belief in any god or gods. Yet certain beliefs are so widespread that, despite minor exceptions they are practically inseparable from atheism. Three such ideas are as follows:

Only empirical observations of natural events and material properties qualify as true knowledge.

Non-physical formal properties such a those of mathematics, language, and propositions are abstract concepts without independent validity.
