Good Username for Group's Twitter Account?
The Chicago Freethought Project is trying to come up with a good username for our Twitter account. Unfortunately, we're only given 15 characters and they have to be alphanumeric.

Dr. Terence Meaden said… - Hi to Christian J Brooks in Chicago, and welcome to Atheist Nexus. We are pleased to welcome you here among the sensible, rational people of this world who, like you, recognise religion for the superstition and fraud that it is --- and that God and gods are nothing but fictions inside people's heads.

originator of the busy discussion group
"ORIGINS: Universe, Life, Earth, Humankind, Fossils, Religion, Evolution, Darwin..." with its 250 discussion topics.
We invite you to come and see, and to make good new friends.
