We athiests and agnostics need a flag, any thoughts on what it should look like? I have had a thought it should be transparent, a piece of clear bio compostable plastic.

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.The International sign of co-operation is a rainbow flag, because it contains all the colours of all the flags of all nations - I have one outside my door - (not on a flagpole). It started in Rochdale because the workers were given flour adulterated with talc so they formed the Rochdale Pioneers and set up their own shop in Toad lane to supply good healthy food and demand better wages.Also no one with money
can order a rainbow they are for us all and cone and go with weather changes nothing to do with us. But its a real pleasure to see a double rainbow!

Not to rain on your parade, but I don't see any need for a flag and even if I did, flags are for countries and tribes and organizations, which atheists and agnostics simply aren't. Both labels are definitional concerning some very singular and narrow knowledge and belief positions. Philosophical positions don't have, or need, flags.
Also, efforts to bring unbelievers together organizationally are by any objective definition an abject failure, for precisely the reasons just stated. If, say, an atheist is definitionally still an atheist if they hold any belief or engage in any activity so long as they lack any belief about even one deity, then getting them to agree on any group identity broad enough to hold together an organization such that they'd need a flag, are pretty much doomed to be stillborn.

i had a hat - it didn't fit.
To my way of thinking flags are divisive and nurture an 'us and them' attitude. I'd rather concentrate my efforts on the long slog of bringing people together. (First person to say 'kumbaya' gets nailed to a cross.)

@Salo 1000% on board with this!
@jlynn37, you seem ambitious.
@walklightly None what so ever, just curious is all.
Interesting thoughts but think I prefer to be incognito that way no one can snigger- I don't actually like the idea of 'pride' I understnad it from a gay persons point of view but given that I have never had a god ever it doesnt appeal to me to 'out 'myself in any way - I fell like just any old regular person .A bit like groucho Marx saying he wouldnt belong to any club that would have him. Sorry .

Dont be sorry, just a bit of fun after all
That's not a bad idea. Maybe something that reflects our place on earth, within our solar system, and the galaxy. Stars and stars and stars, with no stripes. Or a stylized image of the Milky Way as seen from earth, or perhaps as it might appear from afar.

Make it inflammable, Christians are going to hate it.
No thanks. I have no use for flags. Knock yourself out though.

I'm with this; I'm sincerely all about not identifying myself that way. There are people being whipped up into a frenzy and I don't need to be identified as someone where they should send the bombs.
@HonkyBMcfunky I think flag-burning is great. Maybe if we burn all of them, people will stop worshiping them like they actually mean something.
