This only makes it easier for Trump to identify atheists to round up and deport.

After many, many nearly imperceptible iterations, of course. Hey, this really is like actual design work.

Me, too. There’s a definite absence of crosses or other religious symbols on them.
Design_FINAL. Design_FINALfinal. Design_FINALfinal_IMeanIt…
Eventually you just start oscillating around two equally confusing design patterns

At some point I resort to appending random crap like “_ go tiger”, “_ NOW FOR REAL I SWEAR PLEASE” or simply “_ desperation” to the filenames.
The level of nonsense is a fairly reliable forensic clue to the panic monster effect at the time.

I’m concerned that they aren’t GPLed. I only wear Free Open Source Shoes.

If only we had some simple geometric symbol we could wear around our necks to announce as soon as you see us that, no, we aren’t going to see you in church Sunday.

Atheism is not a religious preference.
Which religion you subscribe to is a religious preference. Whether you subscribe to religion at all is an epistemological preference.

Since this is an argument derived from contentious definitions and premises it never works at persuading anyone who doesn’t already agree. It’s great for igniting endless irresolvable flame wars, though.

True.
Although other people’s religious beliefs or lack thereof don’t concern me that much, there’s something to be said about aggressively declaring I DON’T COLLECT STAMPS!

Remember: Atheists don’t believe in intelligent design.

You’d need Fluevogs for that. They’re Satan resistant.

I can’t wait for someone wearing these to scold me apropos of nothing for how my wife’s shoes think there’s an Invisible Sky Shoemaker Fairy, and my shoes are just chickenshit excuse-making shoes because they think the question of whether there’s some larger meaning beyond shoe ken is less important and less knowable than how shoes are worn.
Oh wait, maybe it’s already happening!
Which tribalism you choose is a tribal preference. Whether you use tribalism to generate blog clicks is a marketing preference.
(Whether you reward the clickbait with comments is an entertainment preference.)

I bought those shoes because they’re nice shoes not for their message.
The company “Atheist Shoes” is located in Berlin, Germany. Over here being atheist isn’t a partisan issue, so it’s more of a brand identity thing.
AFAIK only 25% of the US population have skills in a second language. Overall german language proficiency in the US is 0,46%. So the message under the sole of these shoes is probably parsed as “naziword naziword atheist” or something like that.
Btw the company sells most of these shoes with different slogans than “Ich bin Atheist”, you can design one yourself (more expensive) or choose “Darwin loves” as alternative.
