Atheism involves the mental attitude which unreservedly accepts the supremacy of reason and aims at establishing a life-style and ethical outlook verifiable by experience and the scientific method, independent of all arbitrary assumptions of authority and creeds.
Materialism declares that the cosmos is devoid of immanent conscious purpos; that it is governed by its own inherent, immutable, and impersonal laws; that there is no supernatural interference in human life; that humankind - finding their resources within themselves - can and must create their own destiny. Materialism restores dignity and intellectual integrity to humanity. It teaches that we must prize out life on earth and strive always to improve it. It holds that humans are capable of creating a social system based on reason and justice.
Materialism's "faith" is in humankind and their ability to transform the world culture by their own efforts. This is a commitment which is in its very essence life-asserting. It considers the struggle for progress as a moral obligation that is impossible without noble ideas that inspire us to bold, creative works. Materialism holds that our potential for good and more fulfilling cultural development is, for all practical purposes, unlimited.
Do atheists have morals? Of course! Yes we have morals! We value our friends, our families, and our lives as much as anyone else. We want to succeed in life, see our children grow up safely, and we would like to see some kind of peace finally come to the world. We donate to charities, we do volunteer work, and we help keep our communities safe and clean for everyone. We are in every facet of human life, in every job field, and in every neighborhood. Our values are based on what is good and beneficial to not only us, but also to those around us. What is beneficial to the human race as a whole is certainly to our advantage. Most Atheists are law-abiding citizens who basically want to live their lives free of imposed religious dogma. There is no evil Atheist conspiracy to take over the world. Unfortunately, religious rhetoric and their continuous believe in superstitious and stereotypical personas of those who are different than they (even those who are of the same religion, but of a slight variation) has painted this paranoid scenario where Atheists are plotting right now to deny anyone the right to their religious beliefs. This is utterly ridiculous.
