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.
This page has archives. Sections older than 365 days may be automatically archived by Lowercase sigmabot III when more than 4 sections are present.
Bumper sticker
"God is dead – Nietzsche; Nietzsche is dead – God" is a popular line on t-shirts and bumper stickers.
This needs a qualification about how stupid this is, otherwise its spreading the same propaganda that the stickers are and is POV. Please don't put it back in until an agreement is made. --

Stupid or not, that slogan is a part of the common conciousness... a mention has to be made. Possibly a more NPOV comment is needed, but the common misinterpretation of the quote is discussed in the main article. I would say further belabouring of the point is superfluous. —Preceding

Seroiusly, a section for
popular culture might be useful for the theological movement section. I can think of the
Tom Paxton song "Talking Death of God" (1966). I suspect that the "American Pie" "The three men I admired the most, the Father, Son and the Holy Ghost, they caught the last train for the coast" could refer to God as well as to the Big Bopper.

"Death of God theology" has its own article and is really only tangentially related to what Nietzsche originally discussed. So why is the body of the article focused on that, rather than on Nietzsche's own ideas (which aren't about the "literal" death of God or even about atheism, per se). I came here to see a concise explanation of Nietzsche's ideas that I could link someone to who doesn't understand that it's not about God's literal death. The article should be primarily about Nietzsche's philosophy and what he actually intended with that phrase, not offshoots.

Agreed. I would support removing the theology material. This article should focus on Nietzsche's usage of the phrase and scholarly interpretations of Nietzsche's usage. —

I've reverted back to a version from May 2012, and then removed much of the theology material, with a link to the main theology article. —

This section is full of errors and misrepresentation of quotes and the only valid information is already written in other sections. For this reason I delete completely this section.
To give you an example of gross misuse of quotes, consider the following passage:
"Religious people start going against their beliefs and start coinciding with the beliefs of mainstream society. “[Moral thinking] is debased and poisoned by the influence of society’s weakest and most ignoble elements, the herd”.(Welshon p 16)" It implies that Welshon's understanding of Nietzsche is that the non-religious mainstream society is society’s weakest and most ignoble elements, the herd. But of course Welshon is not that ignorant. In Nietzschean philosophy religious people are society’s weakest. On the same page Welshon says: "Thus begins his lifelong war with morality and Christianity." If you read this section carefully all quotes are accompanied by writer's explanation, which alters their original meaning and are in conflict with Nietzsche's main interpreters like Heidegger or Deleuze.
