Crowdfunding an Atheist Shoe bus to crisscross America



CORY DOCTOROW / 10:07 AM WED JUN 1, 2016

David from Atheist shoes (previously) sez, "We've just been successful in raising money for the first Atheist Shoes Missionary Mobile Shoe Shop, which will criss-cross the USA, selling handmade shoes and spreading our European message of godless comfort and joy. The fund-raising is ongoing, as we aim to get a whole fleet of buses on the road. The first US tour begins in September 2016, and will take in Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee and Texas."

I own a pair of Atheists and they are not only amazingly comfortable, they're also super-cool looking and leave the best prints behind me in mud, sand, wet ground, etc.

The rewards are cool: at €150, part of your money is used to send you a pair of shoes (&euro175; for boots); €1300 gets you a special visit from the Missionary Bus, while €1500 from any one town will also guarantee a visit.
