→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.
