Does Atheism have a Generally accepted Symbol (and do we need one?)
#27
RE: Does Atheism have a Generally accepted Symbol (and do we need one?)
But what political force? A bunch of people getting together and saying "we don't believe in God"? Not only are there vast differences in political ideas among atheists, there is not a single political idea that directly comes from atheism. Hell, I have numerous atheist friends that honestly could not care less about religion in government and just 'go with the flow', and ones that really do think "marriage" should be defined as a man and a woman since it's a 'religious' idea.

I don't think there's any reason to try to organize a political party around a single, neutral, non-proscriptive stance. It's like forming a political party based on the non-belief of Leprechauns.
In every country and every age, the priest had been hostile to Liberty.
