I like the scarlet A, mainly for the literary reference, but I don't wear it. Not that I wouldn't, I just don't own anything that has it other than a sticker on my car for our local atheist group: TAG (Tidewater Atheist Group, where the 'A' in TAG is the scarlet A).

Outside of that, I have and proudly wear an Atheist Nexus shirt and the atheist mantis shirt from tshirthell.com.

I had to look up the atheist mantis. Killed myself laughing! He looks so grumpy!

Yes! Atheist Mantis is my new favorite.

Well done; that's commitment. I have to ask though, how many people have asked you what the V stands for? *L*

Almost every time I go out I catch somebody looking at it and engage them about it or someone asks about it outright. It has sparked many good conversations (and, obviously, some not-so-good convos).

My left arm is currently being dedicated to paleoanthropology...

I like wearing mine. It's not that obvious and it interests people more than anything. It's also nice when you see someone else wearing it. I am normally weary of symbols and icons, particularly when they represent values or sacrifices, but the letter A just simply means Atheism. Sweet!

Love it (even though Truth is not a sin, as adultery may be). Thought I thunk it up first, but guess not.
Advertising uses clear, bright symbols and this is a great one. But would prefer a pin that said ATHEIST, in big bright red letters... I am rather vain about my clothes and a T-shirt is rather 'slouchy'. I look like freakin' school teacher, everyone says. I want them to see how normal an atheist can be...and how polite, well-spoken, or kind.

I didn't care for it much when I first saw it. But the more I see it and think about it the more I like it. I don't have a scarlet letter t-shirt yet but I want one and I will definitely wear it with pride.
