The First Step

In fighting for any worthy cause, it is of prime importance that the people you are trying to reach know of your existence: Visibility is crucial.

Firstly, it gives other like-minded individuals the confidence to speak out and express themselves, that they are not alone. A supporting network of like-minded people can form, being able to identify one another.

Secondly, our visibility shows the controlling powers and agents of the adversary that their views and methods are actively opposed. Since fear of reprisal is a key component in suppressing the freedom of thought, we must show no fear.

Thirdly, being visibile generally raises public awareness, and forces those who may have no strong opinion to at least consider the issue.

Remember, the enemy only exists in 'free' societies because of laws protecting of freedom of speech, belief and thought; yet they would gladly take those priviledges away from you given the chance. Remember also that in these societies, you are protected by the same laws. The effect of not protecting these worthy institutions may not be immediately evident, but tomorrow's children may pay the price for today's indifference.

Act Today: Become Visible.

This design features The Atheist Resistance symbol, Ω (the Greek letter omega). Why omega? In electrical engineereing, it is the symbol for the unit of resistance. Hence, the shirt symbolises that not only is the wearer a 'unit of resistance', but also part of a wider 'unit of resistance'.

Action shots are welcome (of course, names will be withheld and faces blurred if you wish, just let me know). I've been wearing mine around town—see above—and have noticed a few raised eyebrows and prolonged stares, although no-one has had the fortitude to actually challenge me on it.
