If you are, then please consider helping out RAFT of the University of Illinois, Chicago with their project which gives atheists and freethinkers a place to reassert our non-theism or to proclaim it for the first time.
One might wonder how putting your name on a list may help. After a little consideration, I came to the conclusion that most of the communities that a person like myself has are online, where there is an overabundance of secrecy of real-life identity. Right off the bat, when I’m in a group that is full of pseudonyms, the community feels a bit closed-off. If this list gets big enough, then it can create a community of real names, and that seems much better to me than a community of *atheist* pseudonyms.
So, if you’re an atheist and in a place to say it, sign the list. I’ll be checking up on it now and again!
