Revision as of 18:59, July 23, 2014

The "We are atheism" campaign is encouraging atheists to come out of their atheist closets.[1] Unfortunately, some atheists are finding it more difficult to squeeze out of their closets than others. Please see: Atheism and obesity and Homosexuality and obesity and Atheism and homosexuality.

American perception of atheists is one step above child molesters?

Concerning various views on atheists, research in the American Sociological Review finds that among several groups listed, atheists are the group that Americans relate least to in terms of their vision of American society and are the group most likely to be mentioned as one that Americans would not want to have marry into their family. [2] Dr. Sam Harris is a founder of the New Atheism movement. Sam Harris is quite aware of the stigma surrounding atheism and has even advocated that atheists no longer call themselves atheists.[3] In fact, Dr. Harris has said concerning the label of atheist, "It's right next to child molester as a designation."[4]

How can this possibly be? Solving the mystery

See Atheism and marriageability !!!

Don't let atheism and the pseudoscience of evolution turn you into a screechy monkey![5]

Why is the public's perception of atheism so low?

Consider:

1. There is no proof and evidence that atheism is true. Christianity has an abundance amount of evidence supporting it. See: Evidence for Christianity

2. Unfortunately, historically speaking, there are two things the atheist community excels in: lying and mass murder. Please see: Atheism and deception and Atheism and mass murder.

3. Many American resent having their children indoctrinated into the religions of atheism and evolutionism via their tax dollars. Fortunately, there is the Question evolution! campaign. Unlike global atheism, the Question evolution! campaign is growing.[6]

4. Quarrelsome atheists. See: Atheist factions and Atheism and social outcasts

5. There are 10+ major obstacles facing American Atheism and global atheism. See: 10 major obstacles for atheism

"We are atheism" campaign overcoming stereotypes? You be the judge!

Perhaps, the architects of the "We are Atheism" campaign will be able to dispel the notion that most atheists:

1. Are nerds

2. Wear goatees or skimpy beards

3. Often wear black

4. Often have spiked or shaggy hair

5. Are generally oddballs

Go HERE and HERE and HERE and HERE and HERE and HERE and HERE and HERE to see the "We are atheism" campaign in action!

When the "We are Atheism" website launched 11 out of 15 atheists featured had the Nerd/Skimpy beard/Wear black/Spiked or shaggy hair Syndrome! The skimpy beard is particularly present. I had no idea that Scooby-Doo and Shaggy were atheists! See also: Atheism and social outcasts

Question: Why do so many atheist men have skimpy beards and/or shaggy/spiky hair? Were Scooby-Doo and Shaggy atheists? They were certainly cowardly enough to be atheists!

Take this test before it's too late! See: 10 telltale signs you are on your way to becoming an atheist nerd

Why does atheism have a public relations problem?

Although this is not exhaustive list, here are some other factors to consider when solving the mystery of why atheism has a public relations problem:

Overweight atheists! Global atheism is slimming down as far as the number of its adherents

As noted above, global atheism is in decline in terms of the number of its adherents and the grassroots Question evolution! campaign by Creation Ministries International could certainly accelerate this decline.[7]

In 2011, the American Spectator declared concerning research published in the International Bulletin of Missionary Research:

The report estimates about 80,000 new Christians every day, 79,000 new Muslims every day, and 300 fewer atheists every day. These atheists are presumably disproportionately represented in the West, while religion is thriving in the Global South, where charismatic Christianity is exploding."[8]
