“Atheist Street Pirates,” a sub-group of the Los Angeles-based group Atheists United, has been actively clearing out religious signage illegally posted in public places since 2021. The Street Pirates began as a joke at an Atheists United meeting when members complained about religious signage all over the city. The idea started as a “religious rubbish removal,” which eventually became the Atheist Street Pirates. The group is not removing any signage from any church property, as those signs maintain the separation of church and state. Evan Clark, the executive director of Atheists United said he understands that people “put a lot of passion behind these signs and their messages …I just wanted to do this as a casual thing to keep our streets secular.” The group has already tracked more than 70 signs across LA County on their Google Map database. They have an online inventory with photos and locations of the signage they encountered. To maintain consistency, Clark also said that if his team encountered atheist signage in a public place, they would take it down as well.
