Logo reminds me of a road winding its way up a hill towards a Cross at the top.

To me it looks like they saw
the cross and hightailed it
outta there. No need to get
involved with the cave dwellers.

...by running around and around the hill? Lacking a sense of direction?

Besides, the plus/Cross is a positive sign. Smile

@IRC
I love how you capitalize the "c" in cross - another idol of christians.
Also, notice how once turned around, the logo heads staright back to
where it originated...

It's better than a dollar sign, worshipped by some atheistic religions.

If athsims is a religion then how do I get to be a preacher ?
And if I do can I get a free house and comfortable pay check to preach atheism?
AKA Post here and occaisonally be all like THERE IS NO GOD!!
because I do that anyway

Actually - there is NO law that prevents YOU from opening a church of atheism if you want to. IF you could get someone to pay you to preach the LACK of a word - go ahead

THe problem is that true atheists - do not accept the need for listen to you - and support your cause. So you are unlikely to actually get many donations to support yourself

But Atheist have NO reason to support you - since they do not need to pray - which does not work anyway - and there remains nothing to pray to that actually exists.

I'm sure they wouldn't as I would not either. I was only making a joke with a point.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

An "atheist church" is to start holding regular services in Scotland from next month in a bid to spread the word about the "free-thinking faith".

Must be part of Alain de Botton's Atheism 2.0 denomination

Fine with me. To each his own. Some believe in no-god. I've just got bigger fish to fry. No congregations for me though, thanks anyway.

If I don't post here on Atheist Forums, does that make me a lapsed atheist?
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.
