It does not manifest itself in any kind of ideological way away from here.
What manifested your Faith to no-faith?

I am not interested in telling you my life story at this particular juncture. It's been raked over time and time again on long threads here over the years.

It has no doctrines or narratives that bind all people who lack belief in gods,
I strongly disagree.
If you feel like it, you can mention a few of the doctrines that you believe bind together all the people around the world who lack belief in a deity or deities.

Well, I hope she's a good cook and such; and, A Christian 😛
How are you Ghost of a Duke? 🙂
All good here sir.

In the year 2138, the majority of sentient life forms (including androids) will be atheistic in outlook and live mostly on a diet of seaweed and wild mushrooms.

Sorry, I missed that. However, I have seen this response from you several times before.

Those wild mushrooms will make them believers in God in no time. They just need to eat enough of them. 🙂
I am glad you are well Ghost of a Duke. 🙂

You know that there are large groups of atheist's and the such.
Let's take Trump as an example. He now claims to be a Christian; do you see any 'concrete evidence or concrete actions' that he is spiritually following the teachings of Jesus? You know the Christian life since you use to be one; what do you think with your spiritual and moral thought?
Now, do we even have the right to make that spiritual judgement in someone else? Seeing that we all are evil at times ourselves.

Start a thread about it, if you are interested.
It's your prospective, not mine most likely. It is you who should start the thread, if you wish. I will contribute; and, I am interested.

Oh well. No thanks. I've started countless threads about morality.

Er... I think you have misunderstood my question.

Can you list the doctrines that you believe bind together all the people around the world who lack belief in a deity or deities?

Maybe so. But I have also seen you exhibit a sense of interpersonal entitlement several times before. You rarely post. You disappear for months at a time. I'm not interested in meeting your current, temporary need to extract personal information from me.

If you stumble across some of the epic threads about morality - 500+ posts etc. - then you might find what you are looking for.

Yes.
'We don't believe in God or a afterlife, etc.; and, we don't like or care for that belief in others.' (sometimes understandably so; and, that obviously goes vis-versa by many on other side of debate).
There are many large atheist's groups through much of the world, who come together with preaching, speaking, and much written literature on atheism and the such. Are you attempting to deny this?

Extremely hilarious; and extremely wrong. I've had MUCH going on in my life over the last couple years.
You're clearly a huge bucket of loving morality for us fellow humans in this spirituality forum to follow. Please share with us how you did it, and, maybe show us the way with concrete evidence or concrete actions. 🙂 Or, at least give us your prospective on the matter.

Thanks for the excellent descriptive description of you and many of your posts here in the spirituality forum.
As for myself, I do have a bachelor's degree in theology. Nothing more, and nothing less. I believe that this, and nothing really, qualifies me to speak my mind in this forum on the spirituality subject. The same as you, and everyone else.

Then I am not interested in taking up any of your time.

No one is disputing that you qualify to speak your mind. Everyone does here.

Yes.
'We don't believe in God or a afterlife, etc.; and, we don't like or care for that belief in others.'
There are countless atheists who absolutey do care about what theists believe. And countless that don't. So I don't think there's much of a binding-them-all-together "doctrine" to be found there.
