Those not up to date on whatever internet meme that refers to may not get it (like me)  But I'm sure it's really cool for those that do get it.

Fun fact about the word meme:

"The word meme originated with Dawkins' 1976 book The Selfish Gene. To emphasize commonality with genes, Dawkins coined the term "meme" by shortening "mimeme", which derives from the Greek word mimema ("something imitated").

Dawkins states that he did not know of the "mneme", and said that he wanted "a monosyllable that sounds a bit like 'gene'". Dawkins wrote that evolution depended not on the particular chemical basis of genetics, but only on the existence of a self-replicating unit of transmission – in the case of biological evolution, the gene. For Dawkins, the meme exemplified another self-replicating unit with potential significance in explaining human behavior and cultural evolution."

I felt it was important to have a meme of some sort on the shirt.

I want. Nobody would get it and I'm fairly sure I'd be shanked for even mentioning trying to start up a Secular Alliance, but it would still be awesome for me.
