What do I belive?



As an Atheist, every one knows what I don't believe in. But very few people know what my beliefs are. So I thought I'd take some time to spell it out.

I am in 100% agreement with Richard Carrier's essay "What an Atheist Ought to Stand For" there are some basic things that all atheist basically agree on


I. Inquiry and doubt are essential checks against deception, self-deception and errors



II. Logic and proper empirical method is the only way the whole world can arrive at an agreement on the truth about anything



III. It is better to be good to each other and to build on what we all agree to be true, than to insist that we all think alike
