What significance does atheism have to offer us as a species?
Part I of II
Atheism gives us an understanding that we have some form of commonality as a species through the physical and emotional realms.

Appearances now become important for we are just what we appear to be.
We exist within a universe with no creator.
The universe is, always was, and always
will be.
We, on the other hand, come and go.
We have no soul under atheism.
Our existence is confined to our universe.
Under atheism, the value of the individual could be argued against just as well as argued for.
We have to be careful about defining our significance as a species.
We will create problems for ourselves and others if we do it in a fashion that would allow one person to logically be considered better than another.
Doing so only opens up the possibility for some members of our species to logically subjugate other members of our species.
As a species, we are very resourceful and have always had factions who take advantage of just such perceptions.
