This would be my first step into pro-active athiesm and I think the symbol is a great idea. However I prefer the idea of a pin as I would want to wear it to work. Why? Well. There are a lot of laws to protect people from religious prejudice at work and I would want test if I were entitled to the same defence as a non believer

All symbols have to start out somewhere. Maybe the scarlet A will be a hit, maybe it will become well-known in the general population. I think the A is worthwhile.

For anyone who’s looking for an atheist T-shirt (or Tea-shirt, even), here’s a cool one. Be prepared to explain about the teapot, though…

Can't help you on the Oakland Atheists shirts, but I know where you can get a Mohammed Teddy Bear. They have a huge selection of atheist t-shirts too.

Anyone know where I could get one of those Oakland Atheists t-shirts? I saw one this summer and have been looking for one ever since.

Anyone?

Again, Hemant, I’m sorry… but I have to disagree.

I’ve only worn my OUT shirt thrice and I’ve had seven people ask about it. Discounting the two Christians I explained on my blog, the shirt led to five conversations about Atheism that wouldn’t have happened if it was (say) my “Sausagefest” tee shirt.

I expounded my case on my blog.

black skeptic,
Take heart, as a female black atheist you’re not quite the absolutely least trusted minority in America. (unless you want to be, then disregard this) To be the absolutely least, least, least trusted minority in America, you would have to be a female, black atheist who for some reason wears a hijab, with an arabic surname, is gay, has a speech impediment, lots of warts, one eye that goes sideways, unwanted facial hair, really ugly, short and left-handed, who is a lawyer or a used car salesperson. Then you’d be the very very least trusted minority in America, unless I left something out.

Nice blog, by the way.

ummm.. Hemant, you missed the chance to make red the ‘a’ in the word ‘that’ in the very first sentence. This apparent lack of attention to detail makes me question how committed you are to the causes you claim are so dear to your heart. You’re a world renouned blogger. You need to be more careful.

I hope this blunder doesn’t set the freethinking/athiest community back in our quest for world domination!!! muuhahahahahaha.

Umm… *Hemant quickly edits post*…

I don’t know what you’re talking about. The post is an epitome of perfection.
