Atheism symbols refer to the particular marks that represent atheism. Atheism has several different symbols it uses to represent itself.

Darwin Fish

One of the most frequently seen symbols that atheists use is the "Darwin fish". The Darwin fish is a perversion of the Ichthys, a famous symbol associated with Christianity and Jesus, and is often associated with evolution and ant-creationism. It is often seen as a cynical attack on Christianity.

Atomic Symbol

The Atomic symbol was developed by the American Atheists in 1963 and represents the belief that human progress can best be achieved through the scientific method and rational, open inquiry. The symbol has not gained wide acceptance due to its association with hazardous nuclear waste, nuclear bombs and hazardous radiation.

Scarlet Script "A"

This symbol, a red, italicized "A", is the symbol for atheist and evolutionist Richard Dawkins's "OUT campaign." Christian apologists [[Mariano Grinbank writes: "Obviously, this "A" refers to atheism and yet, has been correlated with "the scarlet letter" in reference to the "A" that was placed on the front of the clothing of adulterers in Puritan communities in places such as Boston. The claim is that just as adultery, and hence the adulterer, were stigmatized atheists have been stigmatized."[1] The campaign attempts to eliminate religion in politics and schools.

"Empty Set"

The empty set symbol, ∅, was originally suggested by Wayne Otero and was derived from a letter in the Norwegian and Danish alphabet. It asserts the idea that there is no God and shows the obvious spiritual emptiness of atheists. A zero is another similar symbol that's been used.

Invisible Pink Unicorn

The Invisible Pink Unicorn is not an official symbol of atheism but many atheists claiming the existence of God can be likened to the existence of pink unicorns. Atheists engage in denialism and often try to suppress the abundant evidence for the existence of God and for Christianity. For more information please see: Arguments for the existence of God and Evidence for Christianity and Atheism and deception. In addition, there is no proof and evidence that atheism is true.
