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.

This article has been viewed enough times in a single week to appear in the Top 25 Report. The week in which this happened:
I changed a couple of things, and lost the page reference because it changes from publication to publication (duh). The previous wikipedian wrote that it was on page 117, but the quote is on page 142 on my paperback edition.
The quote is from the chapter "Why there almost certainly is no God", about two pages into "National selection as a consiousness-raiser" just after the first block-quote from the Salmon of Doubt.

I came in here via the category Pages with broken reference names and in tracking down the problem found that the first named citation was in the 'Influences' section of the Writer InfoBox. I've fixed that but I noticed Influences/Influenced in the Infobox weren't displaying and found that it was removed from the template on 4 Aug 2013[1] after a discussion on the Template Talk page.[2] Given that it was redundant I removed those as well but there was some info it it that may be useful elsewhere in the article.
Influences:
Within the article, it is stated the Douglas died at both 49 and 59. This needs urgent revision and fact checking 49.199.242.215 (talk) 02:33, 13 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I see where Belson is described as dying at 59, but I don't see where Adams is. Can you clarify? Larry Hockett (Talk) 02:41, 13 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Can we get a proper bibliography for Adams? Split it off into a "Douglas Adams in media" article or something, but this article is missing a lot of stuff (novelizations of his scripts, etc.) that should be documented *somewhere* and has TV credits under both "Works" and "TV writing credits". It's sloppy and unfortunate. 128.151.71.7 (talk) 12:58, 21 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
level-5 vital article is rated B-class on Wikipedia's content assessment scale.
