Recently we had a summation of the Bibles message, you know, the earth will become a paradise, people will live in harmony forever etc etc i wonder of our atheist friends can provide a similar summation of their message,
As for what I, as an individual atheist teach, the main message is 'the Truth will set you free'. And the truth is that there is no God, and there will be no paradise after you die, and science is the best way to understand the world, and we should all strive to educate ourselves and understand at least the basics in all branches of science.
I also think we should all think about our own futures and those of our childrens and try to improve governments, and try to improve our long term planning because that is the biggest failing of modern democracy, the system encourages short term planning at the expense of long term planning.

then you have arrived at solutions or answers.
It doesn't always involve teachings.
Sometimes teachings can suggest dogma.
There is nothing dogmatic about analyzing a situation
and with the proper information coming up with facts
and solutions.
Lawyers do it all the time.
So do scientists and medical experts.

which presupposes that in order to have a teaching one must of necessity be a religion, which is rather strange, for as far as i am aware, many disciplines have teachings and are not in the least remotely religious.

My message is as follows:
so you are a minimalist or a conceptual artist and wish us to use the blank space as a vehicle for our own imaginations, or a Buddhist and its both blank and not blank, there being no I or a Calvinist and we dont see the blank space at all but the black sinfulness of the surrounding text! or a Karoly Poly and its not a blank space but technology left by visitors from Rigel or a sonhouse and its written in Dolphin and we are too stupid to decipher it!
