I love the idea of atheists becoming ordained. What a great way to not only keep people out of the church but to help fellow atheists, members of the lgbtq community, and anyone else who wants no part of a "religious" ceremony.
Here is a list of places where you can become ordained online for free.
Remember to check with your particular state to make sure of the exact requirements!
- Church of the Latter-Day DudeGet ordained immediately at the Church of the Latter-Day Dude! Become an official "Dudeist Priest" right away. It's totally free and there are no obligations.
- Universal Life Church Ministriesa non-denominational online ministry and is perhaps one of the largest communities of ordained ministers in the world.
