Sadly, I am unable to attend. Hopefully, this meeting, too, will be available as was "Beyond Belief" of last fall. Such availability opens up the ideas and discussion to millions of others. Good luck and good wishes. Sir/Madam,
I like what is happening here. Sadly, I am unable to attend. Hopefully, this meeting, too, will be available as was “Beyond Belief” of last fall. Such availability opens up the ideas and discussion to millions of others.
Good luck and good wishes.

I am particularly happy to see that American Atheists will be there. I remain puzzled by their refusal to join the Secular Coalition for America, but at least this suggests that they have some interest in collaborating. This is excellent news.

There's definitely a grassroots movement to make humanism/atheism more visible and more acceptable in U.S. society, and it will be great if the established groups can find ways to capitalize on it.
