Hhhh wish i can do that but i am living in isis society ?

Hi you probably can't even show your face or hair in public. I have read messages from people from Kuwait..wanting to shout out loud "I am an Athiest!"...but they can't..its too risky..because of the blasphemy laws..they can label you as an Apostate..too dangerous..but you are not alone.

Never gave it a moment's thought one way or another. I like my home to be serene and beautiful, even though i am not rich.

So much beautiful art commissioned by Thiests...nothing for us...??

@Hitchens ah contraire...if it doesn't have an actual religious theme, it is at least neutral......

@AnneWimsey

True..yes.

I have a book case full of atheist titles. That's my only atheist statement on display for my visitors to see. Everything on my walls is beautiful to me and doesn't reflect any religion, just the beauty of nature and humanity.

There is nothing wrong with that..everyone likes beautiful art etc on their walls..just disappointing that there are no beautiful moving or inspiring true art prices that have Athiesm as the subject matter.

@Hitchens The absence of supernatural gods in any piece of art is by definition atheist. But perhaps you are meaning anti-theist?

For me, the absence of theism is good enough for me. So much beauty occurring naturally without attributing it supernatural causes. For me, living without religion is my normal. I don't need to focus on the fact that I'm against what is not normal for me.

I did remove a piece of art my mother had purchased and had hung in what is not my home, before she died. It was just a local island town scene, but it had a church in it. When I moved in to what was her place, I decided that one piece of art wasn't "me" and I didn't want to look at it every day.

My mom was not terribly religious, and she knew of my atheism, so I don’t feel guilty in the least replacing it. I have to be me.

@Julie808 hi..no, not anti Thiest at all ...just pro Athiest. But yes neutral art is great..you were right to remove the picture...?

I do openly read "Skeptic" magazine at work 🙂

I read it..I was just really sceptical of the articles...?

@Hitchens I just buy it for the art

@pixiedust Do you have any of your art in your Bio?

@Hitchens Just in the Living Arts entry that is my profile pic 🙂

@pixiedust

Just saw that very vivid, vibrant, and colourful..really great!

@Hitchens Thank you. It was a lot of fun and I won in the Dr. Seuss category. In this pic, a lot of the set is cut off - the sitting area with Seuss trees, pillows and Seuss-like stuffies. I read the book out loud, non-stop for 2 1/2 hours. Only made a couple of children cry.

@pixiedust

I'm Sam I am! Love reading it to my two girls..Green Eggs and Ham..love it..?

@Hitchens LOL! Me, too. I used to perform it when I worked with a children's theatre group. That dratted Sam used to add random things to the text, all of which I had to remember in order. 😀

@pixiedust

Great memory exercises! ??

Interesting question I was not aware that there was specifically atheist art out there I'm going to have to look around

There is less than you think...

@Hitchens I really like that one that you posted I'd really like to get a copy of that and yes I'd hang it right up in my living room

Drsmash if you come across anything interesting..maybe you could post it..

@Hitchens I did Google it but there were a few atheist pictures and then they switched right over to Christian pictures I was so utterly confused I'll keep an eye out though

@Drsmash253

Ok.. they seem scarce..If I had the money.. I'd commission one ??
