An Atheism United Blogger is someone who will be allowed to post their blogs on Atheism United in a mutually beneficial relationship with Atheism United. This page will outline the role, what is requested of a blogger, and what their purpose is.
Contents
What is the role of the blogger
- Create content at the rate of at least 3 posts per month (400 word minimum - no limit).
- Write about anything that would be of interest to someone who is not out of the closet about their atheism. This includes almost everything important to an atheist and is broad on purpose.
- Write about anything important to any atheist
- arguments against god
- latest Christian controversy
- latest act of religious violence
- latest lie told by a politician
- issues of environmental concern
- athletes praising god
- you get the gist
OPTIONAL:
- Examine his/her own position of our vision. Dissect individual points. our vision will reference your blog when complete.
- Create one piece that embodies your position on each specific vision item.
- 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 heard as well.
- Create one piece that embodies your position on each specific vision item.
The role of Atheism United
- Provide a Drupal 7 site. An example of a Drupal 7 install with similar functionality to what we strive for: http://www.guitarworld.com
- offer free subdomain name to link to blog at http://www.atheismunited.com/blog/yournamehere/
- Blog posts will be at http://www.atheismunited.com/blog/yournamehere/yourpostnamehere
- Ensure blogger has a single skyscraper google sidebar ad on a side of the page. You will need an adsense account.
- You will receive about 2 cents for every 75 impressions, you will also receive a per click bonus. A click could reward you as much as a few dollars and is most likely to pay 3-20 cents.
- Provide an audience.
- Atheismunited.com will become one of the top names in google under search terms applicable for atheism.
- The first year the site will grow extremely fast.
- Site admin Brian Sapient has played a major role in 4 separate atheist websites attaining #1 status in Alexa atheism site rankings. He's done it on average every 3 years for the last 12 years. He hasn't done it in about 3 years. ;-)

Logistics
Bloggers will tell Atheism United what percentage of our vision they agree with. That number along with the average percentage of all bloggers will be displayed in a chart on a page that explains the blogging project. The page that summarizes the blogging project will also request new bloggers come onto our team. That same page will be a central focus of the blogging project and linked to in many locations. We will show the world some core issues that many atheists agree with. There will be dissent, and that's great, but we will unite under what we believe in, rather than not.
