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.

Ok so first off we need, if we are going to bring up that petition, to contextualize it both within the core of the complaint being about the unequal treatment of gay men by the law compared to straight men and also within the context of the activist milieu in which it arose. Furthrmore, we do have a whole article on that petition at French petition against age of consent laws and it cites a whole array of sources more notable for a matter of historical record than a random article in a newspaper. This isn't a current event and there's no good reason to use non-academic sources as a basis for citation here. Simonm223 (talk) 13:12, 23 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I have noticed that this article seems to be a frequent target of vandalism. I recently reverted a change (see the revision I made on 24 November 2023) which promoted the claim that Jean-Paul Sartre stated a belief in God while on his death bed, a claim that has no credible evidence. After looking through the history of this article to find the original author of said addition, I found to my amazement that the change was made all the way back in October of 2021. The fact that an unsubstantiated paragraph of text can survive two years on such a significant philosopher's Wikipedia article without seemingly anyone noticing is alarming to me.
For this reason, and because of a history of other occurrences of vandalism on this article, I would like to open a discussion for locking this page. Stephanos100 (talk) 05:39, 14 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Shouldn't the sexual abuse section be 'alleged'[edit]
It's all written as if this is 100% confirmed (i.e. 'Sartre did...') when as far as I'm aware it's not entirely confirmed. Ofc I'm not defending his actions, but shouldn't it be necessary to use phrasing like 'Sartre allegedly did' rather than treating it like it's something known for definite. 2A00:23EE:2770:2CAD:D8FD:4ACD:ECD2:EE99 (talk) 21:19, 17 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
