Up to 350 international delegates are expected to attend Ireland’s first World Atheist Convention in Dublin this weekend.
Organised by Atheist Ireland, the event, from Friday to Sunday, will also see the launch of a newly restructured umbrella group for atheists worldwide, Atheist Alliance International. Its first chairwoman will be Tanya Smith of the Atheist Foundation of Australia.
Delegates from the US, Europe, South America and Australasia will attend.
I am guessing this congress won’t open with an invocation.
Just came back from Ireland. Churches are pretty empty and most baptised Catholics we talked to are not practicing. Good climate for such a convention.
A convention? I don’t believe it. L
