View Full Version : Ideas for atheist symbol
Fourth_Legion 11-07-03, 07:49 PM First off, I'm not exactly sure where to post this. If it is in the wrong area just move it :) Anyway, I've been drawing different symbols just for fun (don't ask :m: ) and I drew this to symbolize earth. I think it looks pretty cool but that's just my opinion...
What do you think? It could probably use some improvement. It can also "symbolize" atheism... however how does one symbolize the non-existent? Okay, that's all I have to say :D
Looks like a pokeball.

Fourth_Legion 11-07-03, 07:55 PM LOL! That's exactly what I thought. Heh, thanks for the feedback. It was just a crazy drawing anyway. :D :m: :eek:
Pollux V 11-07-03, 08:06 PM I like the attachment I have better, only just the blue part and the diagonal in the middle about as long as the horizontal middle one. It's the Byzantine Cross. I just think it's a cool symbol, I mean, the theists have crosses, why can't we?

Fourth_Legion 11-07-03, 08:11 PM That's a good idea. I was just having fun with my picture. Brainstorming I suppose. Back to the attachment, yes it would be nice to use the cross. But that really just symbolizes the cross Jesus was supposedly crucified on. However, lines through it could put a distinctive twist on it... Who knows?
What symbolizes materia most then? An atom? The H2O molecule? A pile of dirt? A dollarbill?
Fourth_Legion 11-07-03, 08:24 PM This one slightly resembles an atom. Thik of the ball as the nucleus, and the two lines as the paths of electrons. Or it can be the mathematical symbol for an empty set with an extra line...
:D I think it's too cumbersome, simplicity is the key.
Why not just a plain circle then?
Fourth_Legion 11-07-03, 08:29 PM I think the plain circle is used by the Wiccan group, that's why I didn't suggest it. It would be a very good symbol though, symbolizing unity and a neverending quest for knowledge. Oh yes, and also the atom :)
A cicle with the letter A in it then? @ Just kidding.
The circle would suit the ideology, but it seems very occupied.
curioucity 11-07-03, 10:46 PM My idea: earth, revolved by something.
Atheists care nothing about heaven anyway, so no heaven in the symbol.
sargentlard 11-07-03, 11:39 PM Why do atheists even need a symbol or a "logo". One's beliefs do not neccessarily need logos to represent them.
But if one is a must then how about Jesus smoking a cigarette?
I agree, atheists, don't need a symbol to remind that they are atheists. Maybe for some they find a symbol repulsive, in the sense that symbol tells the world who you are. Even I find that kind of pathetic.
wesmorris 11-07-03, 11:50 PM (like butthead)
Uh... Heheh. You symbolize your mom.

My Avatar is the Athiests of America logo.
The symbol is essentially that of the atom which represents science and the open orbit indicates we do not know everything or claim to know everything.

gendanken 11-08-03, 04:28 PM Fourth legions atheist symbol:

Looks more like AutoZone merchandise. I can picutre a mechanic squirting motor oil out from the slit in the middle.
I'm picturing a tampon or a sponge with the Christain fish symbol tatooed on the part that touches the cervix. Religious icons annointed with poisoned blood. Sweeeeeeeet.
Fourth_Legion 11-08-03, 04:45 PM :D Very good interpretation of that symbol, I do see what you mean though. Funny, thats all I have to say about that :)
gendanken 11-08-03, 04:58 PM Funny, thats all I have to say about that
Good. And Keep saying it. I like being told I'm bloody funny.
cthulhus slave 11-08-03, 05:54 PM A cicle with the letter A in it then?
a red A in a circle is the anarchist symbol.
athiests wouldnt want to apear to be conencted to that now would they?
Yes, I know that. I was kidding. But maybe the letter A upside down?

The theists crosses are a symbol for their lord. Are you as a bright going to support their saviors symbol?
whitewolf 11-09-03, 02:24 PM I thought since atheists have no religion they have nothing to symbolize... But may be it could be one of the atomic models.
What on earth is a Russian Orthodox cross doing among the images offered?! If you don't believe in Christ, don't keep the image of his cross on your neck! The symbol of the Soviet Union comes a little closer since that gov't prohibited religious practices.
Dr Lou Natic 11-09-03, 11:00 PM How about this?;
wesmorris 11-09-03, 11:18 PM That's the bomb right there lou.
Atheist symbol?! F#ck that, what the hell. If you're going to be an atheist then be it...Who the hell needs a symbol, I don't. If you truly believe in atheism then you don't need no damn symbol to represent squat...mann, i juss say, "f#ck uh symbol"
exsto_human 11-11-03, 12:30 PM I can see all these symbols pictured on the cover of 'Brave New World' by Aldous Huxley.
heh, I just got a mental immage of billions upon billions of clones roboticlay working in factories and doing jobs all wearing uniforms with the same logo on their chests.
ElectricFetus 11-11-03, 10:36 PM It portrays the tortuous public execution of a cult leader.

Yes I think atheist and agnostics should have symbols representing them just like religions do.
SpyMoose 04-08-04, 05:55 PM I’ve actually got a chance of contributing a symbol of my design to be a symbol of atheism. I submitted my design for the icon competition being hosted by "The Brights" it’s already passed two phases of the selection process now. So cross your fingers for me (I am aware of the irony involved in asking you to perform a superstitious ritual, which I want to use to help me attain a goal within an atheist organization) . The Brights are at www.the-brights.net
ElectricFetus 04-08-04, 05:58 PM I got a symbol for agnostics forgive me for it not being creative:
?
SpyMoose 04-08-04, 06:09 PM hehe, if you ask me every so called agnostic I have ever met is really just a closet Christian. They buy into almost all of it, just don't want the negative stigma involved with being a Christian. A few of them, I wish a good missionary or something will come and help bring them out of the closet.
ElectricFetus 04-08-04, 06:13 PM I'm not a closet Christian!, to me god still has a chance of existing just very improbable and even more unlikely that any religions got it right, put its still again anything’s possible. And jesus he was a man not a god, get over it people!

*************
M*W: There's a lot of closet Christians out there, but they are fastly declining.
They're the ones who maybe, just maybe, go to church on Christmas and Easter.
They're the ones who may indicate a religious preference when they get admitted to the hospital.
They're the ones who never go to church, drink like a fish, cheat their neighbor, cheat on their wife every chance they get, lie and steal, but when they're in the hospital, ask for the Chaplain to bless them.
They're the ones who sit in the pew every Sunday then beat their kids (or worse).
They're the ones who slam the door on missionaries.
They're the ones who tithe ten percent, to make themselves look good to their church, but never attend.
They're the ones who hate the Muslims, the Jews, the Jehovah's Witnesses.
They're also the ones who hate other people at church and call them hypocrites.
They're the ones who blindly believe that Jesus died for them.
ElectricFetus 04-08-04, 06:32 PM Soooooo closet christens are just normal christens?
Soooooo closet christens are just normal christens?
LOL! Well said :D
Some Christians just have more sins than others. ;)
rainbow__princess_4 04-09-04, 03:52 AM Yes I think atheist and agnostics should have symbols representing them just like religions do.
Yeah but the symbols of other religions come from ancient times when they have symbolistic meaning... atheism doesn't really worship the moon or anything so how can they have a symbol like that?
ElectricFetus 04-09-04, 09:41 AM Because theological beliefs have that and philosophical beliefs that replace theology needs symbols to replace the ones they are displacing. Just as christens moved X-mas to winter to override the Pagan winter solstice celebrations and made Satan’s description look very similar to common pagan god to discredit them.
jadedflower 04-14-04, 07:05 AM Athiesm isn't the hatred of other religions... it's just... not going with the flow. Or going with the flow of non-believers.
Ill leave you with a link: http://www.abarnett.demon.co.uk/atheism/symbol.html

I got a good symbol for athiesm:
A spear going through god's head
jadedflower 04-14-04, 08:35 AM what's god's head meant to look like?
what, you want a spear through a dove? That the Ozzy Osbourne Cult.
jadedflower 04-14-04, 08:37 AM and eerm... what's with the NAzi flag?
(shouldn't this thread go in the "No Religion" section :P j/k)
what's god's head meant to look like?
God's should to look like a mixture of all the races in our world(assuming that bible's interpretation of us being created in god's image is true of course).
what, you want a spear through a dove?
No that would be a flag representing people who want to rid the world of peace and happiness.
ElectricFetus 04-14-04, 11:23 AM Dear Moderator,
I could not find the old Atheism symbols post so I made this one, please merge mine into the old one.
ElectricFetus 04-14-04, 06:23 PM sorry I repeated this thread (this thread was realy old and hard to find)
