What's the symbol of atheism
I am rather partial to the Darwin fish with feet, too.
Cannibals!
@KKGator I prefer the steamed crab with pasta, maybe a nice lunguniee........(trump school of spelling). Heavy on the garlic please......
I like the Darwin fish also the one looks like a logo on the Springfield Atoms baseball team.
What's the crab signify?
Why is it even a question? There isnβt one..nor do we need one. Atheism is not a religion or even a movement ...we are all freethinking individuals who need no symbol or banner to gather under, or identify with.
The American Atheist movement began 1776 when Thomas Paine wrote of the human duty to defeat the "divine rights of kings" ....Ethan Allen and Thomas Jefferson joined Paine in the AGE OF REASON repudiating the King James bibles....Masons and Freethinkers wrote a 100% gawdless CONSTITUTION in 1787 and the Declaration of 1776 DELIBERATELY set up the duality of "Nature and Nature's God" opposing bibles and bible gawds....this is the essence of symbolism....words called into action.....Daniel Webster led the beginning of a counter revolution to re-establish colonial churches pew taxes and restoring the alleged jesua nasoret to primacy in State Constitutions....accordingly the battle for symbolism continued .....the Seal of The United States has always been the all seeing eye atop a pyramid 1776 and the words NOVUS ORDO SECLORUM New World Order and the Seal for the Presidency is an Eagle with war arrows in one set of talons and peace olive branches in the other talons
@GreenAtheist Sorry, Iβm not American...none of this has any relevance to me.
Welcome to the asylum. Enjoy your stay.
Many will say it's the Atomic Swirl.
I don't do symbols, so I say this atheist doesn't have one.
I'm not crazy,,,,,,,Really, I'm not,,,,,,,I'M NOT!!!!!
That is the modern evolution of the American Atheist "orbit" carbon atom from over 30 years ago.....the center orbit is cut flat at the bottom to resemble a curved A and the nucleus is intended to be a block A for American G for German I for India or Italy or Indonesia.....but older still is the pansy flower a pun upon the French word for pensee TO THINK reason NOT BELIEVE.... FFRF and American Atheists sell pansy metal lapel pins
....Humanists use various male symbols....I have never seen a symbol for Agnosticism
@GreenAtheist Yet another reason I detest most symbols.
@KKGator donkeys elephants sunflowers and Statue of Liberty ....only the Green Party symbol is honest and elemental to principle....Libertarians have supported mandatory pregnancy laws with the obscene lie that embryonic goo deserves more "liberty" than a raped pregnant woman
@altschmerz Like it! Don't need to worry about offending any one - besides as a science teacher, no one is surprised! Helps that I celebrate Pi day and Mole day!
There is a fish carrying tools but the early fish had Greek symbols of idiot faith code inside
Hopefully there isnβt one!
Too late! LOL
@KKGator oh dear, another religion is born!
@Geoffrey51 Not at my house. I seriously get really pissed off whenever
anyone calls atheism a religion.
Atheism is a religion like water is an alcoholic beverage.
@KKGator I agree totally. I use the term loosely as it doesnβt need to be called anything
@KKGator Atheism is a religion like not collecting stamps is a hobby !
@Geoffrey51 Didn't you get the memo? Atheism IS a religion!
You just can't see it.
The symbol is not having one. No flag. No fancy logo. No snappy slogan. Nothing.
What is the symbol for not eating egg sandwiches?
Maybe this?
...and before anyone kicks off, a symbol is a rallying point. A rallying point indicates separation and otherness. Otherness creates suspicion, boundaries and hostility.
So welcome to your club, I hope you remember the cost of the membership fee.
A decade ago there was not such a thing, then Dawkins started the scarlet A campaign and the "New Atheist" symbol appeared and now that has many iterations in this age of memes.
