Any update on this, Hemant?

None yet. But it's still in the works. The idea has not been abandoned.

Where did you get this comment form?)

It came with Wordpress, though I believe I added in this plugin: http://www.raproject.com/ajax-edit-comments/

I would do my darndest to go–wherever it is. If we won’t be herded, all us cats have to form a pride at some point, or this country will just slip into the dark ages.

I really like this idea! I also like the name “Unity Convention” – maybe that’ll circumvent all the debates of what is the best descriptor – humanist, atheist, non-theist, whateverist. Maybe it could have a tagline such as “the place to be for atheists, humanists, non-theist etc” (where etc will of course be replaced with other terms…). The goal needs to be to make this BIG.

I realize that this was just suggested, so what is the sense amongst the leadership for having such a conference? Maybe if all of us email the organizations where we’re members and ask for such a convention, it’ll be a reality in 2010.

The Unity Conference sounds fantastic! (Although it wouldn't be obvious that it's a non-religious conference based on the name.) I can hardly wait; I hope Margaret's idea actually comes to fruition. Christianity is dying in Canada, so you might expect to see quite a few of us Canucks attending.

I think the “Unity Conference” is exactly what we, as non believers, need. It will need many dedicated people and lots of planning to make it happen, but count me in.
How about London as a location? Or perhaps the thought is to have it right in the bible belt buckle?
