Add Atheism info box to all atheism related talk pages (use {{WikiProject Atheism}} or see info box)
Ensure atheism-related articles are members of Atheism by checking whether [[Category:Atheism]] has been added to atheism-related articles – and, where it hasn't, adding it.
Try to expand stubs. Ideas and theories about life, however, are prone to generating neologisms, so some stubs may be suitable for deletion (see deletion process).
State atheism needs a reassessment of its Importance level, as it has little to do with atheism and is instead an article about anti-theist/anti-religious actions of governments.

"Marxist interpretation of ideology as false consciousness" -- now exactly who defined ideology as false consciousness and where did they define or describe it as such? Engels mentioned the term false consciousness in a letter and Lukacs seemed to equate ideology with false consciousness but that's about it. This can hardly be used as evidence to support the claim that a 'Marxist interpretation of ideology as false consciousness' actually exists.
False consciousness implies mistaken or false ideas but according to McLellan, no where does Marx describe or define it as such. In the GI for example 'Marx thought of ideas as distorting or inverting reality because that reality was itself distorted or inverted' and in Marx's later writings, 'ideology was seen as deriving from the real surface relations of capitalist society which served to conceal the fundamental relations of production' (Ideology, 2nd edition, p.13, 1995). McLellan goes on to say that 'Marx's point is often that ideology is not a question of logical or empirical falsity [as implied by false consciousness] but of the superficial or misleading way in which truth is asserted.' (Ibid., p.15). So if for Marx ideology was not the same thing as false consciousness and if Engels only mentioned the term false consciousness in a letter, who else defined ideology this way? If one or two so called Marxists did, then maybe use their names (e.g., Engels and Lukacs) instead of claiming ideology equals false consciousness in Marxist thought. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.84.68.252 (talk) (special:diff/579850106) or — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ditc (talk • contribs) (special:diff/579850985 and special:diff/579851169)
I can understand Yanis Varoufakis, but what is Tsipras doing there? For God's shake. Tsipras has absolutely nothing to do with this, or anything like this. 2A00:23C7:9BAA:BC01:8857:6BD4:A1BD:4966 (talk) 21:17, 17 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I've just noticed that Slavoj Žižek has been recategorized as a "writer on Atheism". Not that I've read all of Žižek's works, but some of them, and it is widely known that he has written on freedom, marxism, capitalism, popular culture... But I can't remember that he wrote specifically on atheism in any of his books. This biography just mentions a New York Times article, is it enough for adding this category? Isn't it redundant since it is categorized as an "atheist philosopher"? Sorry, but I can't understand why is this category included here, and wanted to read some other opinions instead of deleting it without any consensus.
