I think that's in our Atheist Bible we always hear so much about. Along with worshiping science, evangelizing our lack of beliefs, persecuting believers and something about eating children although that ritual is super secret.*

*Disclaimer: This is satire. Atheists don't really eat children. That's our official statement and I'm sticking to it.
