Atheist Alliance International congratulates the 2012 Global Atheist Convention, A Celebration of Reason

Arranged and hosted by the Atheist Foundation of Australia, A Celebration of Reason will feature some of the world's leading atheist speakers including Richard Dawkins, Daniel Dennett, Sam Harris, Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Ben Elton and Eugenie Scott.

Atheist Alliance International will be represented at the Convention by Tanya Smith, President, and Victor Franco, Director.   Tanya Smith said "With thousands attending, this will be the largest atheist convention ever, anywhere.  Followed by atheist conventions in the Philippines, Canada and Germany over the next month or so, A Celebration of Reason is a leading example of atheists being visible, organised and saying 'the damage done to our society by religion has got to stop'.  It will be a fantastic weekend of rational thought and a unique opportunity to hear from this group of world-class speakers."
