Somehow I get the feeling that most of the people participating in "Draw Mohammad Day" would be outraged to the point of demanding a boycott or retribution if a hundred thousand Muslims (or people of Muslim cultural heritage) participated in a "Blaspheme Against the Holy Spirit Day" or a "Hang a Cross Upside-Down Day" or the like.

"Point out Logical or Factual Errors in the Theory of Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection Day?" *shrug*

Theoretically there wouldn't be one, since the scientific method and worldview is philosophically compatible with any kind of doctrine, and the whole idea behind "Draw Mohammed Day" is to protest doctrinaire inflexibility (and the idea of issuing death threats to people who offend your doctrine).

But that's not to say that there aren't concepts which each generation of atheists treat as if they were doctrine. Even still, it wouldn't have the same impact because there is no atheist equivalent to the fatwa or catechism which theists could poke at.
