I don't think atheism has any "tenets" other than a rejection of God beliefs. My position on free will is a philosophical one. I couldn't really say how common my "deterministic" viewpoint is amongst atheists. As to life after death, I don't ultimately believe in the notion that life has a true beginning or end. There is only change. I don't believe in such a thing as a soul that survives physical death if that helps any.

My atheism has a Buddhist/Taoist flavour in case you're wondering.
