Do Atheists/Agnostics/Skeptics have a scripture?!

You don't know how to read, do you?

This is a very important point. Paar is claiming to be reading or to have read several scriptures from faiths other than his own, yet can't even accurately read the responses to his questions on here.

Considering how elaborate some of them are, that is very much a factor to consider.

Vedas are a revealed scripture:

"The Vedas area also called Shruti (heard knowledge). When the Rishis (holy men of pure minds and thoughts) sat in meditation, God revealed unto the Rishis the knowledge of the Vedas and the Vedas are said to be Divine Knowledge. The Rishis, in turn, explained the revealed knowledge to the people."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veda_(disambiguation)

Quran confirms that God had sent prophets/messengers to all nations and people:

[35:24] Thou art only a Warner.
[35:25] Verily, We have sent thee with the truth, as a bearer of glad tidings and as a Warner; and there is no people to whom a Warner has not been sent.
http://www.alislam.org/quran/search2/showChapter.php?ch=35&verse=24
So, as is claimed, most probably it is a revealed scripture in the origin, like the Torah is a revealed scripture in the origin from God.
Right? Please
Regards
Ah, so somewhere it is claimed to be revealed is good enough for you?
No surprise there.

You do understand that that is not research, right?
That is called ratification.

I don’t think they have any or they need/ed one.
Well sometimes strange things do happen in this world, in case they have.
Please name such scripture and the name of the renowned religion which belongs to them, the sources as to how it got authored, its being secure till our times and its usefulness when it was written/compiled/authored and
suitability in our present age.
Thread open to everybody belonging to religion and no-religion.

Regards

No

I keep asking you why you believe humans who claim that their writings are revealed. But you never respond.
I believe that is because your case is very weak. It is based on your belief that you can tell the difference between which claims are true and which are false, without having any reason but your own pride.

Atheists have a set of beliefs even though it excludes God. I should elaborate. They would most likely accept other atheists as well as believe in humanitarian and moral things. Most atheists I have spoken to display abhorrence to murder and rape and all the other things that religion teaches as wrong. They accept mostly good not evil but just don't believe in a God.

But atheists also many of them are atheists because they are anti violence and against the violence they see in religious war. They don't accept a deity but they accept good things like love, compassion and justice. Atheists don't have a book as such but in their minds they do have principles and beliefs.

~;> about the term scriptures
well we prepared to call it the handwritten works of man with the proper guidance of what is good and cannot lie

also are we not following any certain rules in any books
although during this present period of time the books were written not by hands of man but by mechanical things
just like our one testimony unto
one of our brethren who told us that if someone would dare to read his diary then its unfortunate for that person coz its only i who could understand what is written there
even it is written in english language

its from the ancient belief
while today most of people does not prepare to write with their own hands but rather used their fingers to point something as keyboards or by using a voice command program

as they say
how easy this life should be now
without any war and famine

Do Atheists/Agnostics/Skeptics have a scripture?!

No, they don't have. Even if they all get united they cannot have one.
A scripture is revealed by G-d, humans cannot make one. If humans could make then of course Atheism would have made one. Right? Please

Funny.
I do not see the word god in the definition of "scripture"....


scrip·ture
noun
  1. the sacred writings of Christianity contained in the Bible.
    "passages of scripture"
    • the sacred writings of another religion.
      noun: scriptures

Bold empty claim

I understand that that is what you believe.
But belief does not make it true.

Especially given that the word 'god' is suspiciously missing from the definition.

What does one understand from the words "bold empty claim"? Please
Please give one's own understanding, not from dictionary .
