→Atomic Symbol
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 anti-[[creationism]]. It is often seen as a cynical attack on Christianity.

=== Atheist whirl/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.
