So, those of you who are a sucker for free items may have noticed our latest sponsored item, the "Easy-A Pin". I did what I always do--which was to put the trailer on mute and come back later to see what I got--and was pleased to find an item that reminded me a lot of my Out Campaign scarlet letter lapel pin. Which is no coincidence--since Easy A and the Out Campaign symbol are both inspired by The Scarlet Letter.

Considering the closest thing we've had before to a symbol for our demographic was the A pose of the wingding shirt, it seems like an item with some possibilities. On the other hand, most people will probably associate it with the cheesy and forgettable teen movie it's supposed to represent. And even once the movie is inevitably erased from the public consciousness, people would still more likely ID it as a reference to The Scarlet Letter. So, I don't know how useful it really is.


Thoughts?

I don't really see the big deal about declaring your atheism or spreading awareness. I mean, you don't lie when someone asks about your beliefs, but you don't need to spread it around either.

interestingly enough I've found that it's a nut repellent. when I were it I get less nut jobs asking me about my religion then chastising me for it.

A job should not be asking for your religion. It's illegal.

I think he should have the right to "show off" his atheism stands. I am for one very happy i am an atheist and i want everyone to know i am, im not pushing my science on anyone im just displaying a symbol for what i enjoy, just like band shirts, sports teams, or any thing else we wear. If i enjoy or believe in it, i would want to show it off because it is who i am.

Agreed. If religious people can wear religious jewelry, why shouldn't we be able to wear our little red As?

People will probably mistake you for anarchists or something else that 'A' has symbolised for a lot longer than atheism. Not that thats a bad thing.

I think using the scarlet letter is a good symbol for atheism im a fan of that idea.

But irl i much prefer the symbol i got a few home made paches and stickers of the atomic symbol for hydrogen. Think the symbol on dr. Manhattans fore head from the comic watchmen.

I have a tattoo of it on mt left shoulder ans the buddhist wheel of life on the right

Tho just because of the history of the scarlet ketters and the puritans it is absolutely perfect as a symbol for the athiests to take back.
