Who I am

My photo
I am an atheist, in fact, I describe myself as a Humanist for I believe in the good in people, not mythical beings.

Places to avoid

This is a section for establishments that openly promote religion:

National Chains
Chick-fil-a
In-n-Out Burger
Alaska Airlines (include bible quotes with meals)
Forever 21 (puts John 3:16 on their tags)
Country Bob's sauces (look who the CEO is)
Edwards frozen pies (bible verse on pie tin)
Desert Essence (beauty products)
Estes (aquarium stones)
Food for Life (baked goods)
Brim's Old South (chips and the like)
Daniel Chapter One (look at the mission statement at the bottom)
Curves (gyms, leaves bibles in workout areas)
Aldi Foods (has buybull verses on the inside of egg cartons)

Local
Carter Brothers Bar-B-Que North Carolina

Franchises (companies who don't seem to be religiously affiliated but might have franchisees who do)
Subway

If you know of any others, please send me a message giving me the name of the company and if possible a link to the company's website showing that they promote religious ideas.

For example http://www.incrediblepizza.com/about.php If you look at bullet number 3 under the mission statement. "We operate our business by Christian principles". The alternate of this would be if they have a religious symbol on their products and/or building. In the case of the pizza company, they have the jebus fish on the doors as you walk in.

I have to give credit to the religutards over at http://www.prophecyfellowship.org/archive/index.php/t-147138.html who posted most of these for me to find so easily!

*Megaplex Theatres is owned by the Larry H Miller Corp who gives 10% of their earnings to the LDS church

If you have the name and possibly a website of a company who proseltyzies a religion and would like me to add it, please comment on this post: http://yamipirogoeth.blogspot.com/2010/07/places-to-avoid.html

Out Campaign

I came across the Out Campaign a while thanks to some of the people that I follow on Twitter.

I think this is a great and somewhat subtle way of getting the message across to other non-theists around the world. Hopefully it could get to the point that if you were wearing one of the items from the store, that people would no longer assume that every single person they walk past on the street is another mindless god bot like them and so they can see that non-theists are just ordinary every day people. Not like some of the stereotypes have been portrayed (thanks to the fundies for that one =_=).

For me personally, I know I would like to have a Scarlet A inscribed into my headstone when that time ultimately comes. Until then, I think I'll settle with a shirt. Wish they offered a set of Scarlet A earrings though, I would definitely wear those a LOT.

Stay tuned to future posts as I will start to type up my change from being born a Mormon to my ultimate deconversion away the religious prison and into a mind of my own.
