Brazilian Association of Atheists and Agnostics


The Brazilian Association of Atheists and Agnostics, or ATEA, is a Brazilian atheist activist nonprofit organization founded in August 2008. The organization advocates the separation of church and state and promotes atheism and agnosticism. Although Brazil is legally defined by its Constitution as a secular state, the organization has voiced its concern that this is not observed in practice.
Its slogans have been: "Religião não define caráter", "A fé não dá respostas, evita perguntas.", "Se Deus existe, tudo é permitido" and "Somos todos ateus para os deuses dos outros".
As of May 2015, it has more than 15,000 associated members.
