Re: Note: the dictionary defines atheism as a belief.
quote:
no tenets?
tenet n.
An opinion, doctrine, or principle held as being true by a person or especially by an organization. See Synonyms at doctrine.
Tenet from Merriam/Webster
Function: noun
Etymology: Latin, he holds, from tenEre to hold
People believe they should not believe in certain things. It is impossible to divest of belief.
