View Full Version : Atheist Booklets in Bulk Quantities

Does anyone know where I could obtain something like the following?

What I want are small booklets similar to those handed out by evangelical groups getting them to go to Bible studies and/or church.

However, I want these booklets to contain arguments against the Christian worldview. The goal is to plant some seed of doubt and convince people before they become indoctrinated or to intensify atheistic views in people who don't go to church but may have residual Christian views and are prone to start attending church.

I want the booklets to contain around three really good internal inconsistencies. I want them to contain some really good quotes like

Hitler burned six million Jews and for this we call him evil. Yet God sends every non-Christian to hell for eternity and for this we call him good.

I'm sure you guys get the point.

I want the booklet to be short and sweat. No more than 10-20 mini-pages. It has to be easy to read and has to cover the basics.

1.)Internal contradictions in the Bible
2.)Many clever quotes preferably by well-regarded famous people like Einstein, etc.
3.)Bad ethical principles in the Bible
4.)Something about the psychology of belief written at a low level. Stuff to address the often described experience of God.

Nothing should require more than an eight grade understanding. I also want the booklets to look pretty and enticing and nothing should be copyrighted including the images. Furthermore, it shouldn't be overly atheistic. I'd prefer not to have the cover laced with a cross and a red line through it. Something a little milder would be good.

I'd also like to buy these booklets in bulk. It would be nice if the booklets didn't cost more than $20 for every 100.

Does anyone have experience distributing such fliers in major cities. How much harassment did you receive, etc.?

I've been getting loads of mail from local churches and there are tons of evangelicals handing out fliers. I'd like to counterbalance them somehow. Has anyone engaged in mass-mailing campaigns sending out atheist booklets? What was the reaction?

Freedom From Religion has some nontracts (http://ffrf.org/nontracts/) at 100 for $15.

Atheists United (http://www.atheistsunited.org/) has had some in the past.

This subject comes up in the PA&SA forum quite often, as recently as a few weeks ago. See thread Free Thought/Atheism Pamphlets (http://www.iidb.org/vbb/showthread.php?t=181763).

JHuger.com has several pamphlets in 'pdf' files available for download that are intended for double-sided printing, and then folded into three sections.

I think someone should print Chick parodies to look like Chick tracts.

I bought a shitload of the afore mentioned non-tracts from FFRF. They are pretty good. I think I need to order some more. I sent most of the last of what I had to ReddHeadd's boy Jared.
