Add Atheism info box to all atheism related talk pages (use {{WikiProject Atheism}} or see
info box)
Ensure atheism-related articles are members of
Atheism by checking whether [[Category:Atheism]] has been added to atheism-related articles – and, where it hasn't, adding it.
Try to expand stubs. Ideas and theories about life, however, are prone to generating
neologisms, so some stubs may be suitable for deletion (see
deletion process).
State atheism needs a reassessment of its Importance level, as it has little to do with atheism and is instead an article about anti-theist/anti-religious actions of governments.

I did some recent cleanup, including trimming down and renaming the "Criticism" section. In particular, I removed the material claiming that "Stedman is controversial within the atheist community". Negative material about a
WP:BLP needs to be well sourced, and all material needs to be directly supported by the sources. Not only did neither source actually indicate that Stedman is "controversial" in the community, they were self-published blogs by two evidently random critics, which is unacceptable per
WP:SPS. The article will need more work, but this is a start.--

I think PZ Myers can be retained, as a famous author (of the world's most popular science blog, Pharyngula), but his statement is easily included without having to note Stedman as "controversial within the atheist community." See my recommended edit on that sentence. Also, I've corrected a few grammos and added a revision reflecting that, among the cited parallel theist-atheist or civil dialogues, Stedman directly pioneered these in IYC, but not at Leach's Civility Tour or Stewart's Rally for Sanity. Cuchullain's edit looks good to me otherwise.

Looking back at it, I removed the Myers cite per
WP:BLPSPS: "Never use self-published sources – including but not limited to books, zines, websites, blogs, and tweets – as sources of material about a living person, unless written or published by the subject..."--
