Rebrand Atheism?
Consider it for a moment. How on earth is it a BRAND at all. It is simply a descent from the greek atheos. Denying the existence of God..
Why don't we rebrand the word physicist because they are considered "nerdy".
To pick up on the point, is that regardless of the connotations that come with it, any rebrand, and new word to describe not believing in the existence of God, is to create the illusion that atheism is equivalent to a religion as Christianity is to Theism. Next you'll have to rebrand the different views atheists have, the Libertarian "Brights" and the Humanist Agnostic Atheist and we are divided.
We are atheist. We are joined by only one simple idea. A supreme supernatural creator is almost certainly a falsehood. Its a single banner that unites us all. Start creating labels, and you create divisions, and we are weakened as a statement of truth.

If you’re going to watch tele, you should watch Scooby Doo. That show was so cool because every time there’s a church with a ghoul, or a ghost in a school. They looked beneath the mask and what was inside?
