And what's wrong with either?
And yes, it is supposed to look like a flower. Pansies, which are a symbol of freethought, have five petals.
I'd much rather have a gay ass flower than a retarded ass "A."

If you need to ask, I couldn't possibly explain it to you in a way you'd understand.

When I flew to Albucurly in January a guy next to me complimented me on my ring tone ("Highway to Hell"). I showed him the red A on my cap and he turned to the woman next to him and said, "See, we're everywhere!"

I didn't know there was a big red A symbol for atheism. Who uses it?

I bought one from RDF. I've had a few knowing smiles and
from people. I imagine people flashing the fish sign back in Roman days.

The first thing I noticed when I saw it was how easily it could be confused with the symbol for anarchy. Do you think this was intentional?
Atheism, anarchy, AND adultery-- if you remember Hester Prynne. AND it looks a lot like a nice big A as a letter grade (often written in red ink at the top of a paper.)
A vey useful symbol, that.
The green careening planet
spins blindly in the dark
so close to annihilation.
Listen. No one listens. Meow.
