Dress Code for atheists:

I remember watching a very old video taken in a bar where if memory serves AronRa was asked if he was ever confronted about an item of clothing (identifying hims as an atheist). (think it was the "A" ). He noted a time a woman who wore a cross in an eating establishment filed a complaint with an employee in establishment stating "That (the "A" ) offends me." The eating establishment employee relayed the problem to Aron? and he decided they (those he was with) will just leave.
This was years ago and I don't know if his position has changed.

Do you have the fortitude to wear items identifying you as a rational (not superstitious) person and if so, how would you respond to a woman in an eating establishment?

I don’t own any atheist gear. I probably wouldn’t wear any because I generally don’t like talking to strangers and I dislike drawing attention to myself.

Every March 4th I wear my pi tee shirt. Does that make me a rational thinker? I guess I've never thought my clothes portrayed my mind I always think of my clothes portraying my personality

I voted that I will wear boldly, but that does not mean I wear things like that always or with intent. If, on the other hand, I am wearing something that identifies me as a rationalist, I have no problem with dealing with any issues that might arise.

I don’t need to wear clothes to acknowledge my ability to be rational and empirical. I show my capacity for such thinking by my actions. I’d rather wear one of my Megadeth or Iron Maiden shirts.

I wear my Agnostic.com t-shirt ALL the time.
It's the only thing I have that clearly expresses my position.
Although, I'd rather it actually said, Atheist.com.
No worries though.

I legitimately don't know any kind of clothing that would identify me as a "rational thinker." Are you talking about shirts that say "Atheist" or something similar or are you referring to specific clothing styles/fashions?

In addition to the letter "A" Look at the other people's posts. Lots of really great examples.

@NoMagicCookie Great examples? LOL. There's a Danzig shirt, a guy dressed as a penis, a pie (3.14) t-shirt worn on March 4, other people saying they don't have any "rational thinker" gear/clothes or don't wear those things.

There's like two people that have given specific examples of clothing they wear to show they don't believe in any god or gods.

I had a Hispanic woman tell me that my shirt offended her god once at a restaurant. I was about 18 at the time, around about 1990. The entire crew and customer base all glared at me. Lol, fuckers. Today, I would simply tell her, “no, the shirt offends you.”

Also, bumper stickers on my vehicles.

I'd be afraid of getting my car keyed. Religious people have no morals, after all.

@ldheinz I wondered if it would cause problems for us. So far, it hasn't. The truck has had stickers and decals for over 10 of it's 14 years and only my family members have scratched or dented it. We have had a car with stickers for 2 1/2 years now and we haven't had any trouble with it either. My oldest son swears people won't let him merge when he drives our truck. He calls it the athiestmobile. I have never had problems with merging. My thought is that nobody wants to be hit by a 14 year old Ford F150 well used pick-up truck driven by a godless heathen. We are NOT Trump supporters, however, the anti-Trump sticker curled up and died. It happens with a lot of stickers because we live in the desert.

@ldheinz here are easier to read photos.
