I do not have any religious symbols in my home, but my wife does. She is a devout Catholic who respects my right to disbelieve.

I have a bible full of notes and citations for debate purposes. I also have copies of tons of other religious texts marked in a similar manner.

This is the first time I get to tell this one! My mother and I, living separately though both addicted to thrift stores, would both accept (salvation army would give you one free with a purchase) and if the price were right, purchase bibles from such stores.. Where’d they go? Into my compost bin … it was a nice one, and I loved to knowing they were quietly decomposing out of site and out of circulation

My former wife’s mother died. Catholic, who’d some way managed to raise 3 atheist daughters.. when cleaning out, we volunteered to take the religious stuff … and though I had target practice in mind.. It all became landfill. So nothing here

I have a couple different copies of the Bible and some other books centered around Jesus and Christianity, but I took quite a few philosophy courses that dealt with religious topics. My love for knowlesge will always trump my disdain for organized religion. How else can I truly know the enemy? Lol.

No bible or crosses. Plenty of Buddhist symbolism though

I have Bible, Bhagavad Gita (x3), Upanishads, Dhammapada, and various (loose-leaf) Buddhist sutras, and half a dozen books on Buddhism. I also have a whole box of Christian books and tchotchkes that I keep getting. Oh I forgot I have several hymn books and a whole library of Christian musical literature.

Do I win?

Problem with the question as opposed to the choices made available. I have no religious symbols in my house, but I have tons of religious literature I use for reference. I am a follower of Sun Tzu, therefor the literature. I should point out that most of the literature I have is in easy to search computer files, not in the form of paper, though I do have a few physical books.

I think there are a couple of bibles still around, hopefully in the box to go to the used book store. As for jewelry, I don't think so unless it is still in the box in the garage to go to Goodwill or some such place. I've kinda been purging stuff I don't use/don't want/don't need. I used to have a huge library and the employers paid for the moves. Doing it on my own, the books had to go.

I have a bible.

I haven't owned a bible in 10 years. The whole book is online anyway. Spoiler alert we all die and come back as zombies.

I checked, there is a bible on the bookshelf, my son said he will try and get around to reading it one day, a buddha statue, plaster characters from the TV series "Monkey", some of the armor here has religious type symbols on it, no idea what they are. Best of all, and I suggest you all find a copy and read it is, "Lord of Light" by Roger Zelazny.

I don't have a bible, but since I collect Dia de los Muertos items, a few of them have crosses on them.

I did not vote in the poll because I don't consider the bible to be a religious symbol for me. (Maybe historical fiction or mythology.) I do have my grandmother's bible in my bookcase. (She was atheist, yet kept the bible on her end table, next to her sofa.)

I do not and have never have had a crucifix, either on my neck or on my wall.

I did purchase the Brick Bible and have it available for my still religious visitors who might be curious to see their beloved bible stories depicted with lego figures. I have books on various religions and mythologies, as well as many books on freethought, atheism, and other subjects.

A bible given to me by my grandmother. I was very young and listed the birth and death of my rabbit. Forgot I had it until a few months ago when I was going through a cedar chest and found it.

My daughter was surprised and I told her she could have it but she is waiting to inherit the entire chest. Perhaps secretively hoping I will read or something.

Reading the bible causes atheism lol

I keep a bible app on my phone...because I like bookmarking the contradictions I find.

My mom comes to visit and she insist on having the hokey torture device here. When she passes I will for sure throw it in the wood stove.

Of course I gave a copy of the bible if I hadn’t have read it I wouldn’t be an atheist

Symbols? Crosses? No. Bibles? Sure. And a Koran, and a copy of The Book of Mormon. They are reference materials, NOT devotional props. It is helpful to know what you are talking about when criticizing religious scriptural claims.

I have way more books about religion from a secular, scholarly perspective. My sentimental favorite is a satirical condensed version of the Bible by Mark Russell called "God Is Disappointed In You." It is even illustrated.

Just checked ... can't find a single crucifix or bible anywhere, but that doesn't surprise me. As a family we have never had a "family bible" to pass down either.

I have a bible from the old days when I was married (wife was a believer) I keep it around just as a reference book now.

My Grandmother left here bible to me. I'm not sure why I got it. She may have believed I needed it most, of her many grandkids. So I still have it. It might as well be in a museum. It's a family thing, not a religious thing.

It depends on your definition of religious symbols. I don't have any crosses or bibles, however I do have a painting my grandmother painted titled "In The House of David" (she was a devout Catholic and painted a lot of religious themed paintings).

I have several bibles and the book of mormon. I don't throw away books. My mormon friends tell me that makes me an honorary mormon after the first 2 years.

Absolutely there's a bible in my home. If you talk to christians you need to be able to look up their quotations from the bible - and give them other quotations that they find 'uncomfortable'. You cannot oppose christianity from a position of ignorance - even though that's how many christians support it.

There's also an English translation of the quran in my house for exactly the same reason. And a book detailing the basic concepts of other religions.

The reason I am an atheist is because I KNOW religion is fucked up!

I'm a hoarder. My place is a mess...
