We Are Atheism Campaign Continues to Grow

The We Are Atheism campaign started last summer shows no signs of losing steam.
 
Centered on a website where atheists are encouraged to openly share their stories through videos and essays, Amanda and Adam Brown have seen their project continue to garner support since its August 2011 launch. In less than six months, the site has had 85,000 visitors from 151 countries, according to Amanda, and she continues to get daily submissions of both essays and videos in their effort to let other atheists know "there are other people out there that are nonbelievers just like them."
 
"It's okay to be an atheist" is a slogan used on the website. "We want the world to know we exist and we will not be ignored," the About Us page adds. "We will stand up, speak out, and be counted."
