Atheism, as in subscribing to rational and scientific arguments, teaches us that the art of living is not constrained by precepts engraved in stone or a defunct language.

That is a beginning, and we could take the argument much further. More prosaically, for me, it's about maximising my happiness, where my happiness is also a monotonically increasing function of the state of happiness of people I care about, the history of these relationships and the prospects of these relationships. ;-)
