Shortcut WP:ATHEISMWP:ATHEISM

WikiProject Atheism aims primarily to organize, neutrally develop, and improve the series of articles on atheism in accordance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. This page and its sub-pages contain their suggestions; it is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians. If you would like to help, please inquire on thetalk page and see theto-do list there.

For more information on WikiProjects, please seeWikipedia:WikiProject andWikipedia:WikiProject/Best practices.

We will strive to improve all Atheism-related articles to Featured Article status, while still retaining aneutral point of view. We will also help prevent religion-based censorship throughout Wikipedia. All editors are welcome to participate, regardless of one's beliefs or disbeliefs. You do not have to identify as an atheist to participate in this WikiProject.

SeeWikipedia:WikiProject Atheism/Participants

Please feel free to change the "to-do list" accordingly, keeping with the format. The list is here so we can make up-to-date changes.

Similar to theCollaboration of the week, but on a smaller scale, you might want to "adopt" an article. This would involve doing the research, writing, and picture-taking (if possible) for either a non-existent article or a stub. Of course, everyone else can still edit an adopted article, and you can work on other things too, but the idea is to find a focus for a while, to try and build up the number of quality articles the Project has produced.
