Yet another way that "Athei"s have no resources, it is for this that they are worried about their off-spring as to how to guide them, please. Right?

Is there a resource of Athe(ism)?

Sorry, I have never seen the "none"s to give any single reasonable argument favoring their ism or "none"ianity, please. Right?

The 'resource' atheists have is their own brain. They look at the evidence given by theists and are not convinced they are correct.
For your information, atheism goes much farther back than just the 16th century. There were ancient Greek atheists in the 5th century BC.
May I ask why you resurrected a dead thread?

Really?.
And I have not seen any theists give any convincing argument favoring their belief. That is why I am an atheist.

If you had no scriptures what would you make of Theism? Or, If you never heard of the God concept what would you rely on for information about reality?
A lot of words are only general meanings, and anyone could write a scripture. Who's to stop one from interpreting your scriptures differently than you do? And what makes your interpretation correct that you may believe God exists?
Love is a general term for affection, but it could mean many other things then that. So too scriptures have no one interpretation that everyone can agree on. So I see no special knowledge coming from them.
I've not seen any good arguments for God, no.
As for atheism it's a default position for so many reasons. And one is what makes pre scripture people less important than those who have scripture?
There's more questions then there are any answers for scripture.
Usually, it's just logic, reason, and rationalisation that leads to atheism, so resources for those could be resources for atheism.

Why would anyone need resources for a lack of belief? You are not making any sense at all.
Do you have a resource telling you not to believe in the Loch Ness Monster? I might want to read that.
There are various authors challenging specific forms of theism to some extent or another (mainly Abrahamic ones, for reasons that ought to be self-evident).
They won't necessarily converge much at all, and in fact rarely do.
That, too, should be expected. Atheism is not nearly as much of an intentional effort as theism is. For all the insistence of the some to the contrary, ultimately atheism is rather amorphous and directionless and requires next to nothing to exist in the first place.
@paarsurrey brings a Muslim perspective with him. He has been taught to take for granted that belief in Allah is the natural state of people.
Most Muslims have a hard time understanding the nature of atheism and expect it to be a deliberate effort, even a full-blown ideology.
Mainly because if it isn't then the Qur'an becomes very hard to take seriously.

No. Atheist do not teach their children to be athiests.
My children are theists. Just as I do not care about you being a theist, I also do not care about my children being theists. I also got to atheism late in life. For half my life, I was a vacillating theist.
If they are intelligent and courageous enough, in time, they will abandon their theist beliefs. If they are not intelligent and courageous, they will continue as theists.
Atheism is not something which is taught. It is something which is realized, an enlightenment.
We have reason and logic.
Atheism is the epistemic default. Lack of belief needs no support, it's the logical blank slate. It's logically assumed.
It has no burden of proof.
You don't believe something/everything till contrary evidence is produced. That's just crazy. Reasonably, you believe in that for which there is evidence.
None is needed. It's those making an assertion who assume a burden of proof.
What do you mean by "resources"?

Yeah, there are no courses on how to not believe things that have no evidence.

Sources of atheism are religious scriptures, and Bible is the best among them. Many are atheists because of Bible.
There are lots of secular resources out there about raising children that are available for people of all beliefs.
Resources for atheism? Pretty much all of science and history. Look at what religions preach and then at what the science says. Then look at what is done in the name of religion historically. By their fruit you shall know them.
