Want to elevate your role on this site? ATHEIST BADGE (must not already have an elevated role)
Offline I just created a new role called "atheist" in response to a long term user who wanted the ability to private message on the site. I know there are a ton of atheists here who will not end up with an atheist badge, please be patient, I will attempt to automate the process at somepoint.
The atheist title will get you in to the atheist only forum and allow you to PM.
Atheist Badge Requirements for now:
- User must have 250 posts or more and over 6 months of usage.
- Must not already have a badge granting access.
- Must request the atheist badge in this thread along with claiming to be an atheist, and blaspheming the Holy Spirit.
If you are currently a paid subscriber (bronze, silver, gold) you may request the "atheist" badge in this thread even if you don't meet the above requirements. I reserve the right to reject badge application. Later I hope to set up an automated test to vet someone for the atheist title. Please give me some time to affix the badge.
If you want a superfan title, a blogger account, or science freak title please visit this thread.

Continuing from the other thread
Well if by "atheist" you mean; Some one who utilizes a fiction religion with the intent of allegory & allusion, to demostrate through sheer mockery, the idiocy of the entire concept of "theism" (and a bit of self-entertainment) ... then yes...
What Would Kharn Do?
I'd actually prefer to not have it. While I find these conversations with theists engaging and hilarious, I prefer not to be categorized and labeled and defined by what I am not or do not believe.
If that's the case... let's get some tags going for the following:
- Not from Mexico
- Not racist
- Does not own a horse
- Does not sail
- Non dirt eater
- Non cross dresser
- Not gay
- Not an idiot
- Not a pro golfer
Come to think of it, it'd be pretty easy to write a non-biography of myself. The list of things I'm not could be rather endless... but would that ever define who I am?
Ponderous.
I'd like an Atheist Badge as I meet all the requirments and Blasphemy is my logo in my Avatar.
Thanks.

Heck why not, I will take the atheist badge as well, never asked for any badges before, might as well start.
Yes, I think I would like an atheist badge, too....
( Holy crap, that was fast ! Thanks Brian. )
Latin and Prozac, you guys are funny. I gave you the badge earlier today. I was fairly certain you guys would want it.

Badges? We don't need no stinking badges!*
*Says the newbie twerp who's nowhere close to qualifying.
I like the "superfan" badge more....
Edit: I'm not allowed to have both, right?
Our revels now are ended. These our actors, | As I foretold you, were all spirits, and | Are melted into air, into thin air; | And, like the baseless fabric of this vision, | The cloud-capped towers, the gorgeous palaces, | The solemn temples, the great globe itself, - Yea, all which it inherit, shall dissolve, | And, like this insubstantial pageant faded, | Leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff | As dreams are made on, and our little life | Is rounded with a sleep. - Shakespeare
*Starts posting nonsense to get to 250*
Edit: ^^, Would I keep my superfan badge?
For now; if you already have a badge I don't want to add another because I have to do it all manually. If I can create an automated process for later, than it'll be fine. You may notice that some people who don't qualify based on the rules I laid out have atheist badges, that's because it's currently up to my discretion. If I know you well enough based on my readings of your posts, you might get pre-approved.

I would like to have an Atheist badge to proclaim my atheism, not beliving in God and all that. I only have several posts so I understand if this is not possible, me being a Newb. But I thought it would be worth a shot, I have seen some people with a small amount of posts and a badge. If not I'm happy to work my way up with posting

I don't want an "atheist " badge. I want a "Redskins Fan" badge, truly a scarlet letter to those in that division outside that team. Certainly would prove that I am delusional, wouldn't it?

But whenever I hit the requirements, I would love a badge that proudly states I don't believe in people's evil, imaginary sky tyrants. As a life long atheist, I would hate for people to see me on here and mistake me for a mental patient, er I mean theist.
