An Atheists Creed

I hereby do not accept the premise of god's existence. My reasons for
doing so are mine and mine alone and do not reflect the beliefs (or
lack of beliefs) of other atheists. Any other philosophies or systems
of belief that I hold to be true in addition to (or, in my opinion,
because) of my atheism are also mine and mine alone and do not
reflect the beliefs (or lack of beliefs) of other atheists. If me
and another atheist commonly hold another belief or beliefs to
be true, it does not reflect upon atheism. Whether or not I choose
to accept or reject unrelated beliefs is at my discretion and will
have no affect on my status as an atheist.

At such a time as I accept the premise of god's existence, I will
cease to be an atheist. This will not inherently affect any other
belief I hold, since there are no other beliefs based strictly on
atheism.
