Unfortunately… I was right.
My wife checked the Fort Bragg area Barnes and Noble around 3 PM. The clerk couldn’t find any of the three copies they had in their inventory. My wife left empty handed.
Later that night (7PM), the new acting president of the Military Atheists & Secular Humanists at Fort Bragg (MASH Fort Bragg), Mildred, had the same experience. So the magazines were still ‘somewhere’. I asked Mildred to check thoroughly. She didn’t see it anywhere. She got a clerk to search about, and rummage through the computer system. She checked in the back, and discovered some sort of mystery box that was unopened. The clerk then stated that we should check back tomorrow, after the mystery box of magazines was put on the shelves.
The clerk said “It’s against company policy to hold magazines for people… but don’t worry, I don’t expect this magazine to be jumping off the shelf.”
Just as Mildred was walking away, placated by this ‘explanation’, she noticed the American Atheists ‘atomic A’ logo peaking out of some magazines. It was the bottom row of the last rack on the aisle, hidden between a civil war magazine, and some other military oriented magazine. The other two copies were not discovered, but computer records indicate they are still ‘somewhere’ in the store.
Religious zealots and/or trolls are trying to manipulate the shelves in order to silence us.
Please check to see if there is a Barnes and Noble near you on the list below (click ‘read more’). Please take pictures, then take action. FIX IT. Don’t freak out, just help counter-troll. Place it prominently, and then just relax.
Many of us struggled with shedding our religious upbringings, only to discover that we were cut off from the community. The blacksheep culture of shame and fear fooled many of us into thinking we were ‘the only one’ for miles. It’s time we all finally slammed that ‘atheist closet’ door very hard behind us.
Stomp out their attempts at marginalizing us. It’s a culture war. Let’s fucking win it.

Is this only being sold at Barnes and Nobles? I’m oversees and the only “bookstore” I really have access too is the NEX on base (unless I want to read crazy Japanese fiction… in Japanese.)

I am on vacation in Washington D.C.. I will check the store at Union Station and the store at 555 12th Street NW tomorrow. Where else is the magazine being sold?

I wonder if the other two missing copies are actually not “somewhere” in the store, but stolen “to protect the children!”

I will have to cart the kids out and check the Oklahoma City location. Or maybe hire a sitter and invest in Kevlar and then go after it. I’m ready to get out of this damned closet. I hope my fellow Oklahoma Atheists are getting out there, especially now with this “In God We Trust,” thing is trying to become our state motto.

What is the name of the magazine? I would like to ask my local book store to order it. I don’t think we have a Barnes and Noble in town anymore.

Jeez. Calm down. I used to work at a B&N and I assure you magazines get thrust to the rear or otherwise misplaced on an hourly basis. I doubt it’s an EVIL CHRISTIAN CONSPIRACY!!!1″1!1

I’ve already emailed B&N to ask why the other stores in the area don’t carry it; have to go 15 miles to one. I’ll get by there soon.

This is awesome :) 2 of the Greater Cincinnati stores made the list, but this one (in Boehner territory, just down the street from the public library) got missed:
The Streets of Westchester
9455 Civic Centre Blvd
West Chester, OH 45069
513-755-2258
Please consider adding this location!

Dave, agreed. I never worked for B&N. I worked for Borders, though. I was frequently the one who did the mags. It is impossible to keep up with people just casually shuffling things around and there are always more publications than space. Furthermore, because of the various publication dates, mags get mixed around in the back all the time.
I’m not going to deny that assholes exist, but they generally throw a fit to the manager about the “offensive” publication. They rarely hide them.

I don’t think there will be a problem but I’ll stop by the Northgate B&N (Seattle) Thursday morning and take a look (and buy a copy).

Dave, when I went to the B&N near Annapolis (MD) in the early 90′s to buy 2600, they wouldn’t put it out on the shelves. The manager decided that people had to ask for it because it was ‘harmful material’.

2600 got shoplifted more than purchased at our b&n.

Hi Gang,
Back in the 60s I had an expensive introduction to the world of Christian big business when a major distributor ordered 10,000 copies to stock all of their outlets. Six months later they wanted to know if I wanted to pick up the 10,000 copies or pay a “disposal fee”. When I picked them up, none of the cartons were even opened. Boy, was I naive!

I work for B&N, and I think (at least I hope) you may be a bit overconcerned. Overlapping magazines in the back row is how they’re put there, it’s the only way they’ll all fit. You can see a bunch of others overlapping in the picture, as well. New or niche magazines tend to be put in the back row, for obvious reasons. And our computers don’t actually track sales of magazines, so anyone who told you the computer said the other two were still there was misspeaking. All the information we have on mags is when the last shipment came in, and how many were in that shipment. All of that is in addition to what the others said, after the people come in and put them on the shelves, they tend to just get thrown around every which way. It’s the most poorly-maintained section in the store, because there’s simply no way to keep up with it.
I’m not saying there’s definitely nothing sinister going on at any of these stores, just that what you have there doesn’t strike me as unusual, and you haven’t said anything about this magazine that couldn’t be said of Lee’s Toy Review or Total Film, two other publications I enjoy.

I’ve CSVified the store list. Some of the leading zeroes got stripped from the zips in the process (rush job) but you can locate your store by city/state.

Checked the North Haven, CT store this afternoon. Copies were visible. Employee was helpful. Of course, we are a blue state and in the contemporary New England tradition, religion or not is fine as long as you STFU about it in public.
There were three copies. Now there are two. (I bought one.)

Another trolling action to take is to remove any bible you find in a hotel or motel room you stay at. In the past, the Gideons actually encouraged people to do that to get the bible into more hands, now, they can’t afford to replace them anymore. So we can eventually get them cleared out of our hotels.

Rather than running off with the Gideon bibles (how on earth can anyone make sense of the KJV anyhow?) I used to leave an inexpensive paperback copy of the Tao Te Ching on top of the Gideon bible. At least there would be something there that would make sense to a casual reader. But that was long ago, before I came out to myself as an atheist.

Stopped by the Northgate store this morning, nothing. Asked customer service rep and she said “we didn’t order any.”

Don’t take the Gideon bibles! I stick warning labels on them when I travel! Plus it’s fun to find all good verses, highlight them and bend the page over.

I just noticed your interesting, relevant and timely article. Do you possibly think that you may be posting any sort of “ongoing update” for it at a later time? The thought crossed my mind. Until then….

Maybe and probably, but you can’t deny there are wingnuts willing to do it.
I’ve tried to borrow up books on various topics from public and university libraries (including books that I’ve borrowed from there previously) only to find them missing or vandalized. Based on personal experience only, evolution, science, atheism and criticism of religion make up most of the targets.

Rockville, MD here.
Took about two minutes to find two copies in the Current Events section, only partially obscured by another mag, but the name was out there and easy to see. So I grabbed one and bought it.
$4.95, but ended up cheaper, since I’m a card holder. Nice to buy a mag for less than five bucks! Nice to support a cause I can totally, completely get behind, too.

Another trolling idea, most of the stores have a children’s religion section. Ive yet to see one that had a religious book that wasn’t christian. SO every so often I used to mix in books from other religion sections to make things a bit more balanced. Might just make kids open their eyes to the fact that there are plenty of people out there with beliefs different then theirs and what makes one any different from another in terms of being true? Can also put The Magic of Reality in there for good measure :-D

Guys, please don’t “troll” by putting books in the wrong sections. I may have trouble telling “Christian Inspiration” books from those in “New Age” or “Magical Arts”, but books do have sections that they belong in. You’re not challenging the believers who are looking in the sections, you’re making more work for the booksellers.

I once checked out a book on the history of Lithuania. The author used the BCE/CE convention for dates and some turd had gone through and covered those up with a Sharpie and written in BC/AD. I got so annoyed in the first chapter that I checked it back in a few days later.

I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my own blog and was wondering what all is required to get setup? I’m assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny? I’m not very web smart so I’m not 100% sure. Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

I would think that stores would remedy this very shortly so long as they’re aware of the actions taken by some. Free speech and freedom of the press are very important aspects of our Constitution and rights…no matter if you believe in the mission or not.
