Atheists bill big names for 'coming out' party in Capitol!


Evolutionary biologist, author and atheist Richard Dawkins appears at the Jaipur Literature Festival in Jaipur, India on Jan. 23. He read his statement lashing out at the idea of faith at the forum.

a scrappy coalition of atheists say they will make history on the Mall next month by pulling together what they say is the first nationwide celebration of secular values — what one of the organizers called a "Woodstock for non-belief."

"The intent is to unify, energize and embolden secular people nationwide, while dispelling the negative opinions held by so much of American society … and having a damn good time doing it!" according to the website for the March 24 Reason Rally, sponsored by "free thinkers" organizations.
