    I thought the symbol for atheism was a red A. Also why do atheists have a symbol to begin with? I was under the impression that atheism was not an organization therefore has no need for a symbol.

    People are iconic, they can’t help it for the most part. It doesn’t really mean much.

    there’s a reason that there’s like 50 symbols for atheists. someone makes one, we all say, hey that’s cool, but I got my own thing, and then we move along, and it’s all great.

    There isn’t an atheist symbol, but there are symbols for atheist groups. The red A is from Dawkins Out Campaign, while the atomic A (above) is the symbol used by the American Atheists, the Atheist Alliance uses a capital A in a circle (kind of like the symbol) and the happy human is the symbol of some humanist organizations.

    There are symbols because humans like symbols. I’d say that the local basketball team isn’t a religion and doesn’t need a symbol, but neither of these are true.

    Atheists don’t have a symbol, but governmental organizations need one to put in the graves of atheist soldiers. Go figure.

    I celebrate Christmas just like any other mother fucker. I got a mother fucking tree with mother fucking Santa on it, I went shopping for Christmas presents just this mother fucking afternoon, I plan to eat a mother fucking ham with my mother fucking family on Christmas. I get all the benefits of Christmas without the Jesus guilt and having to go to church. And I’m not gonna be all preachy about how Jesus wasn’t born in December or that a Christmas tree is a pagan thing because that’s what knowitall faggot teenagers do. So suck a dick you generalizing prick beast.

    And the whole scarlet letter thing was created by Dawkins, who isn’t some atheist deity (that would be Christopher Hitchens), who created it so people can show their support for other atheists because sometimes we feel we have to hide that fact, which is a fucking shame.

    See now, there’s nothing wrong with that because you’re celebrating the modern Christmas version, the one that is about decorations, parties and gifts. None of the religious bullcrap getting in the way.

    I think a lot of people do that even if they’re not willing to admit it.

    Who won’t admit it? My whole family is atheist and we’ve always celebrated xmas. The last few years we’ve spent xmas at other people’s houses, so we didn’t do much at home. Now the kiddies get money, instead of gifts…so no much shopping either. This year, I’m playing hostess, so I’m gonna do some decorating this week.
    What would be the point of running around insisting on not having fun when everyone else is?

    No Nyokki, I meant religious people that celebrate Christmas with very little religious sense. They celebrate it like me, in the materialistic way.

    They won’t admit it, they’ll always throw Jesus into the blend but when all is said and done, all they’re doing is drinking alcohol and buying gifts.

    Ah, ok. I see what you mean. Yeah, I know a few of those.

    Or you could just celebrate New Year’s, without all the extra religious baggage and with delicious Boxing Week savings, like they do in Mother Russia.

    I actually heard the Church explain why christmas is december 25th: There is old testament lore that a prophet dies on the day they are conceived, which means that Jesus was conceived on Easter, and 9 months later, dec 25th boom, baby christ-childe.
