What are the teachings of Atheism?

Atheism is not an organized belief system - indeed it rejects belief as as useful way of thinking - so it has no teachings.

To assume that atheists have common beliefs is to misunderstand what atheism is. Atheists simply don't hold a belief in god(s). That is all. Atheists reject belief and instead think, understand or accept.

Answer

The above is correct. Atheism has no teachings: it is simply the position which reasonable people take when confronted by religion. Atheists assume nothing. There are good atheists and bad atheists. But the only thing which could be said to be a "teaching" would be this: "don't believe what anyone tells you without checking the facts and thinking about it for yourself." That's it. if you do that, and you do it thoroughly, then you'll be an atheist.

Whatever else you are is up to you.
