As we all know Christians, Muslims and other religious people have their symbols that they can wear around the neck in order to tell everyone what they believe without speaking about it. (What else would be the point? Unless someone suffers from Alzheimer's, they don't have to remind themselves which religion they belong to.)
Sp, is there an established atheist symbol that we can proudly wear around our necks to tell everyone what we believe in, and thus don't believe in

One of the grand benefits of being an atheist is the absence of all that foo-fooery.


We don't need no stinkin' badges.

Sure, we don't need them, but such a symbol would be a sign, literally. And it would provoke, which is also nice And maybe even useful as it would make more people realize that the West is not as Christian as many people think.

My goal is simply to live a religion free life. Provoking the religious is not a goal.

You don't need to wear a symbol.

All you need to do is to walk up to people and say, "Let me tell you about being an Atheist." You will soon be the life of the party.

Not a goal, but it is OK. Atheists should stop being on the defense and instead show openly and proudly that they don't believe in what so many still take for granted.

I don't like that at all, there is something Satanic about it if I am not mistaken.
I would prefer a positive, friendly symbol.
