The lightbulb. Like the one that goes off over your head when you first "get it".

There are several but nothing like a cross.
You will find some for all the satire cults like The Invisible Pink Unicorn, Flying Spaghetti Monster, Church of the Subgenius, Discordianism, and so on. Then there are the serious one like Darwin's fish.

this link to no ghosts is worth reading especially his point that a symbol might not be a good thing to have.

My lovely English Grannie always loved pansies. And her ESP was always pretty strong. She knew I was pregnant with my son before anyone else besides me and when I called her to tell her, she said it first. I didn't know that pansies were a symbol of atheism, but I have some silk ones in my bedroom. How bizarre.

A really old-school (as in 1800s!) symbol is the pansy flower. Some people, like the Freedom from Religion Foundation, are trying to bring it back.

Yes, it's an atom with an A in the center. I have the earrings. As Jayelle said, the pansy is used, but for Freethinkers in general, which could also include agnostics. I have a small purple pansy tattooed on my stomach.

as for symbolism, it WOULD be nice if we atheists had a nifty mark of identification to bring us together. but then again, isn't symbolism a little too well associated with religion?

Yes...it's a circle.
Go to Google and type in Atheist symbol...it's a black circle, or it's a circle with secular words making it up.
