→Atomic Symbol
=== Atomic Symbol ===
=== Atomic Symbol ===
The Atomic symbol is probably the most widely known atheism symbol. It 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 is often associated with nuclear waste, danger, nuclear bombs, and hazardous radiation among other dangerous hazards. It has been criticized in the past for taking the atom, a creation of [[God]], and using it to represent an explicit denial of Him.

=== Scarlet Script "A" ===
This symbol, a red, italicized "A", is the symbol for [[atheism|atheist]] and [[evolution|evolutionist]] [[Richard Dawkins]]'s "OUT campaign." The campaign attempts to eliminate all religion in politics and school, attack the "religious agenda," and keep people from being intimidated by religion.

=== "Empty Set" ===
=== "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.
