We live by a single creed: never act with over-confidence in your knowledge.
We also seek the courage to act when our confidence wains.
The quest for knowledge is the greatest adventure of all and we are happy, ecstatic even, to been given this blessing.
We all have values
We all have resources to allocate toward our values
We can help each manage our resources to enable moving towards are shared values
You have to be literally retarded (from our perspective) to allocate your resources against our values
Infidels aspire to allocate their resources, play the game well, to further their values
We value truth
We value justice
We value joy
We value freedom
That is why epistemologically we are evidentialists (orthodox Bayesian).
That is why we stand for justice and equality under the law (not legislation)
That is why aesthetically we are hedonists
That is why, politically we are libertarian
We know and understand we have a lot of mutual ally, enemy relationships we our cohorts
For example, I suspect many left-leaning intelletucals would be insulted to be excluded from the Infidels club, but we have to keep our standards.
We are always open to opportunities to collaborate where are values coincide)
We are playing a game, the Ball game
The world is the field is the Ball.
The world includes the players, we are all part of the Ball.
The Ball has a location, and that location may be undesirable.
The Ball has a tension as different players struggle to control the ball.
Our role is to figure out where the Ball is, where it is going, where it should be going, and what we can do to help.

In which intellectual slum did you find this precious example of ungrammatical idiocy scrawled large?

With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion. - Steven Weinberg, 1999

Harsh but deserved. When somebody unable to meet TOEFL levels scribes a gem like:
"You have to be literally retarded (from our perspective) to allocate your resources against our values"
They are announcing that they are declaring war with an empty armory, or to take recourse to a different meme, I read their message as "All the retardation is belong to us."
When they couple this with an unsupported self-asserted rational basis that incorporates the French revolution by reference:
"For example, I suspect many left-leaning intelletucals would be insulted to be excluded from the Infidels club, but we have to keep our standards."
They demonstrate as lamentable a lack of historical awareness as they do of grammar - or spelling.
When they then attempt to own a well defined noun like "infidel"
"Infidels aspire to"
While apparently missing entirely reason, grammar, spelling, education, awareness and a beginner's dictionary, then, almost irrespective of who is backing them, I don't think that they have a significant future without even more significant changes.
And from the poorly communicated yet indisputably dogmatic stance evinced, this would likely be challenging to impossible to accomplish.
