Do we need a Universal Atheist Motto? e.g. "In Darwin we trust".

Aberingi's long-running topic entitled "Do we need a Universal Atheist Symbol?" leads me to ask "Do we need a Universal Atheist Motto?".

Well, perhaps we don't, or perhaps we could, but some theists might get deservedly irritated if we chose to use something like "In Darwin we trust" at appropriate moments.
These words, suitably translated into other languages, have a basic international atheist appeal with respect to truth and helpful anti-theist sabre-rattling and debating.
e.g. they might look good on the side of a bus/ coach.

I like the Monty Python formulation: "[T]ry and be nice to people, avoid eating fat, read a good book every now and then, get some walking in, and try and live together in peace and harmony with people of all creeds and nations."

And yet I can't help but imagine the Monty Pythons using these sound words as a pretext to start bickering over what a 'good book' is.

More probably, something by the illegitimate child of Proust and Enid Blyton. You'd need the MPs to figure out what would come out of this.

Atheism: For those who love reality and love fantasy, but never confuse the two.

How bout... Atheism: No confusion between reality and fantasy

I think you need to work out some of the bugs in the Hughmanist platform :P

... huh?

I know puns aren't exactly high comedy, but calling them a provocation is a bit of a stretch don't you think?

As I wrote earlier today, "If you lose at Pascal's Wager, you will spend an eternity herding cats."
