Why do atheists need a set of rules to follow? To be atheist merely means you believe that there is no God/gods/divine force, and as religion does not hold a monopoly on morality there is no reason that atheists would require a set of rules such as The Ten Commandments. We have laws, and though many ignore this people also have their own personal moral compasses.
I am an atheist and see this to be a silly mental exercise, especially considering that as atheists share no mythology or common background they are not a unified group upon which you can suggest/dictate a set of moral principles. Personally I think atheism follows to some extent the existentialist/humanist schools of philosophy, wherein individuals should make their own decisions or judgments. Though people of faith can certainly be existentialist or humanist as well.
Let us each come up with our own morals/rules to follow and live by, if you wish to write up your own personal moral code please do, if you wish to have others make suggestions or exhibit their own personal moral codes please do that as well, but saying you wish to set out a group of rules that atheists can follow seems to suggest a misunderstanding of what it is to be atheist and the organization (or lack thereof) of atheists around the world.
Personally I try to follow my heart, and believe that when such action is not to the harm of the group within which I live (family, friends, state, humanity or whatever) it is almost invariably the best way to go. I don't really feel a need to set down morals though. I am by nature quite loyal to my friends, and value loyalty to friends quite highly, so you could say one of my personal moral codes is to always be loyal to one's friends and always there for them in times of need. I can't really think of any other personal moral rules which I like to follow, but if I do I will update you on them.
By the way if the beginning of my post seems a bit harsh I may be overreacting, but I'm going to leave it as is for now. Please don't be offended.
