New Atheist Symbol

[longknife]

Christians have the cross, Jews the Star of David, Islam the Crescent Moon, Buddhists the Great Buddha. So, at last, atheists now will have their own –

I like the idea and how they decided to respond to the Ten Commandments statue, but I dislike the fact that they decided to include deliberately antagonistic Biblical verses. That part just makes them seem bitter and petty and isn't needed to get their point across.

so I get that it is rainbow colored, but I'm not sure why Atheists would utilize a religious symbol like the upward facing Pentagram as a symbol for their non-belief in religion.

Sounds like USMB's resident evangelical atheists.

We actually DO have atheist members who respect the idea of religious freedom. Unfortunately, there are a few people here who devote most of their USMB life to ridiculing the spiritual beliefs of others.

I started off as a rather militant atheist, but ultimately that path quickly lost its appeal to me. I'm more interested in understanding one another and engaging in mutual respect of our different beliefs than I am in cheap shots and petty squabbling.
