I don't know, two words just have a better ring to them. I'm going to support Godless Heathens for the official name.

The first one was weird. Most people who celebrate christmas aren't Christian anyway.

But the second one, I like the idea, but not the specific wording

I kind of like that, it`s up there with Faithful Nonbelievers.

IMO, Godless Heathens is a little too "in your face", I`d like something more subtle, play on words and such.
But if majority likes it I`ll obviously go along :)


Btw, can`t believe i forgot about Monty Python :lol:
How about Judean People`s Front, or was it People`s Front of Judea? :lol:
Or maybe The Knights of NI, or even The Brights of NI?


P.S. I hope you guys know what I`m talking about, or it might sound a bit silly :lol:

It's hard to word it appropriately. I thought about it for about thirty seconds before I gave up. Herded cats sounds worse. The first one is playing off of paranoia (it might be purely American) that atheists are trying to destroy everything Christian.

All's forgiven, and I won't hire the DRS to go after him. But you should prolly urinate in his morning cereal or something.

If we`re counting votes already, I`m supporting Faithful Nonbelievers.

On a more nonsensical note, how about: The Brights who say PI? :lol:
It`s got an atheist/naturalistic reference, a Monty Python reference, and a (somewhat) scientific reference.
Besides we could annoy a lot of people by saying "PI" way too much... :P

I know, didn`t really mean it (though i think i will still randomly say PI from time to time :P)
So is it poll time? or are we waiting for more suggestions

Hello there, can I join?

Only just started playing CC, it's awesome. :D

PS. One vote for Godless Heathens, =D> or what about The Infidels - they both sound like something out of a Charlton Heston film.

You're making some decent progress! =D>

And you're coming up with some witty names, too! I'm impressed! Plus that just shows how a sig is such a great recruitment tool.

I think its poll time.

But if we have the name, we still need a signature.

Here's the official Atheist flag

Oh right, I think Juan said something about Godless Heathens being too in your face. I don't think it will be - it is obviously a joke, while also obviously stating what our clan is based on. I think it will do fine as a name. Although if others have some good names, keep 'em coming!

Thank-You both, gentlemen! Really though SMOKINGDUDE420, I would love to see a PAGAN/WICCAN clan. You should consider firing that baby back up! If there's anything I can do to help, let me know. For the life of me I can't figure out why we both had such slow starts.
CALEB THE CRUEL JESUS FREAK is right though, these sigs are magic.


I won't make an actual poll, because I'm not sure what names are in the race. Plus, there isn't really a reason to hide your vote. So far, I believe the only names in the running are:

The Faithful Nonbelievers
The Loyal Opposition
Godless Heathens



The Faithful Nonbelievers has 1 supporter.
The Godless Heathens has 4 supporters.
And I personally, am leaning towards The Loyal Opposition.

No name is going to stick until we have a clear concensus, so no one panic. If there are any new ideas, feel free to share them. And if you would like to change your vote, feel free to-too.

As for a description, I am of the mind that simple is the best. To just have it read "A clan for Atheists/Agnostics." Anyone else have any thoughts?

I will refrain from commenting on signatures, just yet!

That was HAGGIS_MCMUTTON, though I don't whole-y disagree with him. Otherwise, I agree with the rest of this!

A study published in the journal "Intelligence" suggests that the smarter a person is, the less likely they are to believe in a deity
