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.

Atheism United is attempting a few core ideas in its first year.

• Unite all atheists around the Longest list of atheist URLs ever!
  • Large advertising campaign coming to list.
  • Google rank of every atheist site increases over archaic and nonsensical world views
  • New readers who don't feel comfortable with their atheism will be sought out. The list will be shown.
• Show our vision to the world
  • discussion on our forums
  • Simply be telling the world our vision we slowly move closer to it.
  • Start working on ways to attain the vision through discussion, formation.
  • Lance will head up the 501c3 attempt.
  • bloggers discuss vision with links from the vision to their blog
    • discussion of the vision happens on blog
• Atheism United takes the focus off what atheists don't believe and instead will focus on what atheists do believe
  • vision statement is up for reconsideration at all times.
  • polls[1] will help defend vision positions by showing an 80% or higher atheist majority agree with the vision.
  • Bloggers are still free to discuss anything in the "what we don't believe" camp.
  • Site will still define atheistic terms
  • Site will not contain atheist vs theist debate on forums and will redirect that traffic to other sites. A vs T debate can occur on blogs.

What is the role of the blogger

• Create content at the rate of at least 3 posts of per month (400 words+ - No limit on length).
• Examine their own position of our vision. Dissect individual points. Those will be linked to as information on that vision.
  • 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 examined as well.
• 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

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)
