Come OUT

Atheists have always been at the forefront of rational thinking and beacons of enlightenment, and now you can share your idealism by being part of the OUT Campaign.

Atheists are far more numerous than most people realize. COME OUT of the closet! You'll feel liberated, and your example will encourage others to COME OUT too. (Don't "out" anybody else, wait for them to OUT themselves when they are ready to do so).

The OUT Campaign allows individuals to let others know they are not alone. It can also be a nice way of opening a conversation and help to demolish the negative stereotypes of atheists. Let the world know that we are not about to go away and that we are not going to allow those that would condemn us to push us into the shadows.

As more and more people join the OUT Campaign, fewer and fewer people will feel intimidated by religion. We can help others understand that atheists come in all shapes, sizes, colours and personalities. We are labourers and professionals. We are mothers, fathers, sons, daughters, sisters, brothers and grandparents. We are human (we are primates) and we are good friends and good citizens. We are good people who have no need to cling to the supernatural.

It is time to let our voices be heard regarding the intrusion of religion in our schools and politics. Atheists along with millions of others are tired of being bullied by those who would force their own religious agenda down the throats of our children and our respective governments. We need to KEEP OUT the supernatural from our moral principles and public policies.

It is time to step up and...

We have many exciting activities and plans for the OUT Campaign, so be sure to watch OutCampaign.org for the latest developments!

Comment by Andrew Fortunato on March 1, 2010 at 6:55am: I know what you meean Jennifer. Luckily my imediate family isn't religious but my other family members are very outgoing christians and I always have to keep my views quiet so I don't offend them. I find it disturbing that they get offended that I don't believe in what they do because I'm not offended that they don't believe in what I do.

Comment by Jennifer Kaufman on March 1, 2010 at 6:41am: O, and conversations start with ---what church do you go to... Also, most kids have bible study once a week, and there are usually no children available to play on Sundays. Lord's day stuff and all that.

It is hard explaining to my boy that this pretend god is more important than real things.

Comment by Jennifer Kaufman on March 1, 2010 at 6:39am: My neighberhood is probably considered slightly more rural than suburban. A few acres between houses. The kid can only walk to the closest next door neighbor. We already get odd "fishing" questions about why our house is the only dark house at Xmas.

Comment by Jennifer Kaufman on March 1, 2010 at 6:36am: Out to my family about 3 or 4 years. My husband all 7 years since I figured it out. No more wishy-washy. He is agnostic, and I am way past that. We adopted in 2003 and are raising our (now 2nd grader) as an atheist.

Comment by Jennifer Kaufman on March 1, 2010 at 1:16am: Ok, I'm out. Now how do I keep my kid from being beat up?

Comment by Nexus on November 26, 2009 at 11:21am: I added the scarlet A on my twitter page. :) Great stuff!

Comment by Robert Tobin on November 22, 2009 at 8:52pm: I just got my 2 Atheist Nexus T-Shirts which I shall wear proudly with my badge as a Minister of the First Church of Atheism.

Comment by vjack on October 30, 2009 at 9:22am: Is it just me, or does the American Apparel brand they use in the Out Campaign t-shirts seem cheap and poorly made?
