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 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, which has not gained wide acceptance, is often associated with nuclear waste, danger, 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." The campaign attempts to eliminate all religion in politics and school.
"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.
