Every bureaucracy has official lists, including the US Government. The Department of Veterans Affairs publishes the official list of Emblems of Belief on its website. These symbols are the only official markings besides the Civil War Union Shield, the Civil War Confederate Southern Cross of Honor, and the Medal of Honor insignias, that can appear on an official US grave marker. If you are unfortunate enough die while in the service of our country and you happen to believe in the fiction of Wicca, your grave marker will be blank.
There is a symbol for atheists. It is the atom (number 16 on the list). Only, I do not think atheism is a faith. I must ponder this.
