Obedience: Spend an hour in absolute silence in a room or place devoid of any religious significance or iconography, swearing to yourself and none other that you need no higher power or divine being to find your place in this world. If possible, do so while smashing items of religious significance such as holy symbols.
Effect: You become a void in the fabric of reality to those who serve the divine. Any attempt made to smite you or channel energy to harm you(Or heal you, if you wish) has a 50% miss chance, and all divine auras impose half the normal penalty on you. If your opponent rolls the chance and misses, the use is still expended but you are not affected. Finally, you gain a +2 to all checks or saves made to resist effects that come from a divine source. (Divine Magic, etc.)

Tenets of Faith
Give no god your faith, your belief, nor your trust.
Do what you struggle to do yourself with your own ingenuity and innovation. Never ask a higher power for guidance to do what you could otherwise achieve on your own.
Tear down the works of the divine wherever you find them.
Believe in your own power, your might, and your capability first and foremost. You are your own god, and need no other. Impart this truth to others wherever you go.
Holidays
None
Divine Goals & Aspirations
To see faith die, and belief in the self and one's own power prosper.
To see all creatures realize that faith is useless.
To lay low all the gods and then destroy themselves.
Atheism isn't thinking the gods don't exist. It's believing that they aren't worth your time or faith.
