  • vision statement is up for reconsideration at all times.

    • If you support it explain a reason why, or what we should do, or how you came to that position.
    • If you don't support it say why, it will get equal coverage.
    • Feel free to be critical we only expect 85-90% of atheists will agree. Those who disagree should have their views examined as well.

Wonderist: I need a redirect for "our vision" which then links to a page that takes you to "Atheism United Vision" and includes the entire vision statement from the homepage in present form. You got me? I also just realized that the top half of this article is better suited on another page. Know which one? --Brian 22:29, 30 October 2011 (UTC)

See this section of your talk page. No, don't know which one, sorry. ‽ Wonderist (talk) 07:44, 31 October 2011 (UTC)
