Atheism is a religion.

How do we promote atheism?
Other than the odd forum, where can someone who is having issues with his/hers respective church/religion go to for support?
I mean, we don't have a 1800 number or hotline!
In the future, maybe they can swap the batman symbol for the "A" and shine it up to the sky whenever someone is being persecuted by a religion.
Until then, we need to bite the bullet and find a way to prosper. Otherwise, we'll remain scattered. No focus, No growth.

Unfortunately most of the audience that frequents or watch our forums, videos and atheist websites are mostly divided into two groups. On one side there are the atheists or agnostics and in the other the religious who wants to either contradict, mock or insult atheism. However I don't think we should let this demotivate us.
There are plenty number of approaches to promote atheist. Our minority group ain't the first one in history that has tried to expand itself. My advice is to lear from others.
For example one of the most useful tools to promote a cause is humor. Creationists are always a good source of humor.
Other could be a profound message. People tend to take more seriously phrases and sentences that by themselves have logical and deep meaning.
Artwork and visual arts are always a excellent way to reach an audience.
A couple of months ago I thought of designing(or to be more clear "transform" would be more accurate) some atheists logos into grunge. I even posted a thread to know which ones were the most popular atheists logos. However since many images on the Internet end up being pirated and used without giving credit to their maker I decided to not do it. I would have been upset that someone else used one of my designs without giving me the credit(what can I say, greed and pride took over [Image: hehe-onion-head-emoticon.gif]). However like I said many atheists are always willingly either encouraging us or giving us advice of how to promote atheist.
Here are some examples.


Another good advice is first instead of attacking religion or questioning it I seriously recommend you that if you want to promote atheism you should tell them the advantages of atheism. Because the angry atheist stereotype still persist to our days so try to delete this. Start by telling them that you ain't unhappy, nor angry, first impressions are very important. However since this is a very tricky subject I recommend you to try to promote atheism with people you are familiar with because choosing random folk to promote your cause(like jehovah witness or mormons do it) is very frustrating, difficult and unpredictable.

Emm that depends, how exactly do you express your belief on boobs? Please don't spare any details.[Image: payup-onion-head-emoticon.gif]
