We atheists and atheist allies hereby declare that from now on, March 23rd is Atheist Day. We recognize the struggle of atheists to live authentic lives in many parts of the world. The struggle to openly affirm one’s atheism. The fear of intolerant governments, mobs, and religious zealots.
On March 23rd we shall take a stand for our right to be treated equal and for those of us in countries where atheists are persecuted and live under a threat of death. From every city in every country in the world we shall be one voice, a voice of reason.
That's it? A green circle? I think there are far better symbols of atheism than a green circle. Here's the shirt I wear.

Here's the shirt I often wear publicly and proudly.
@Triphid Here’s my atheist shit.
@indirect76 That's not representative of atheism. That's nihilism. Nothing's on it!
@dare2dream If you say so.
I planned to have a good time today anyhow, and for less of a reason than Atheist Day, so... I'm in.

As a Buddhist/Zen Buddhist, I'm mildly put off by co-opting the enso symbol even for a philosophy with which I'm aligned.
Wiki: The ensō symbolizes absolute enlightenment, strength, elegance, the universe, and mu (the void). It is characterised by a minimalism born of Japanese aesthetics. [en.wikipedia.org]ō
I don't need a ritual or anything. I just simply don't believe.
