Rule to Follow

edit

Only people who have actually declared themselves atheists belong on this page. Not people you would like to be atheist or people who you think are not intensely religious. Do not put an "American Atheists" label on whatever page you like. This is a reference work.

James von Brunn

edit

I don't think he's an atheist. There is no source for him being one. Just because he adored Hitler (who was actually Catholic, not an Atheist)does not mean he was Atheist. He should be taken off the list. 98.28.163.219 (talk) 21:21, 3 September 2009 (UTC)Reply

Questioning the category

edit

Why should there be such a category as American atheists when many more significant categories of human contribution to society and history have been removed? To merely not believe or disbelieve is hardly a measure of one's excellence. It's a bucket into which such persons have dropped. MaynardClark (talk) 02:44, 7 February 2015 (UTC)Reply

Good question. I see it hasn't been answered. I came here because I have a question of my own. How would a person go about finding the category "American Christians?" HaarFager (talk) 10:53, 14 February 2022 (UTC)Reply
