A rational worldview and a lack of outdated religious dogma.
(For the most part anyway. There are exceptions to every rule.)

Atheism doesn't "bring" anything. Atheism is something which is brought to the table by rational thought.

Rather than bringing anything, it more or less attempts to point out what's not at the table.

That seems about right.
Atheism is the guest questioning the waiter and saying he wants to see that particular dish on the table before he pays the bill thank you very much.
first off thanks for playing-replying
second, I use a public system at the local library which allots me
just an hour so bear with me on the replies as they are
lumped together here.
monta-- no I hate surprises and you didn’t address the thread
dust1n—what is that alternative, could it be MORE
SPECIFIC, as this is rather vague
Linwood -- Is it supposed to "bring" something?
The way the atheists defend their godlessness one would tend
To think they would hold out more than the deists.
Dallasapple- Athiest are people..Human beings
That said what is it that their side of the debate actual
Offers mankind, other than this angst against GOD?
Jarofthoughts-- You have to remember that atheists
aren't "selling" anything. They're just not buying what the
theists are selling
I would have to disagree with you having read Dawkins
But you are correct in that they aren’t even buying their
own malarkey
9-10ths penquin—
I sense an appeal to the consequences of a belief coming...
Curious, as I have seen quite a bit of
GOD bashing by atheists, so what is it that they are offering
in the stead of GOD and everlasting hope?
Autodidact-- Truth.

Willamena--- An image of "God".
Really? They don’t believe in GOD so that seems not possible
unless we are talking about some ideal-idol image that
menschen have worshiped through mankinds generations,
so would the real IDOL please stand up? NO?
Gnomon-- Humanity has a table?
Unless you eat off the floor, yes.

AH, but that keeps changing, seems to me like grasping at grass
oops that changed to straw, oops it just changed to dust
oops it’s been recycled back to grass
OUTDATED DOGMA, really GOD is so passé?
dogsgod-- Doubt.
seems everyone has that, so that isn’t really just ATHEISMS
purvey is it?
Kilgore-- Atheism doesn't "bring" anything.
Atheism is something which is brought to the table by rational thought
But how do you know if you are rational? By what measuring stick.

Seems to me having read the Dawkins Delusion, he had already forgotten
the route taken by those societies which had been pressed into the
MARXIST idiom to destroy everything pertaining to GOD.
I know the church has a long legacy of bloody deeds, but those are
that of men and not GOD..,,,,

Oh, ok, then would you agree that the legacy of communist-driven killing was just that of men and not "no God"?
I wouldn't try that one, either, since it's just untrue. Gregor Mendel was a monk, Newton was a Christian, Francis Collins (head of the genome project) also Christian, etc, etc. Atheism doesn't have a monopoly on science.

Baloney. Atheism isn't a moral system, but allows for the individual to develop a rational one.

I don't know. As I said, untold millions were murdered (not in war) by atheist dictators in the last century, who made their own rules. They developed a moral system, it was only rational to them. Anyone who got in their way was fair game. Funny thing, at the beginning of the century humanist thinkers believed we were entering an age of utopia where man would evolve into all that he could be and make the perfect world. It just did not turn out that way.
