FOR THE COMPANY OF MUM AND DAD AT THE GLOBAL ATHEIST CONVENTION. IT WAS VALUE-ADDING TO BE ABLE TO UNPACK THE PRESENTATIONS AFTERWARDS AND REFLECT ON THE MAIN THEMES WHICH WERE

• RATIONAL THOUGHT  AND WISDOM
• THE CORRUPT POWER OF RELIGIONS
• HONOURING THE REASONS OF THOSE WHO NEED TO "BELIEVE"
• DISGUST AT CHAPLAINS IN SECULAR SCHOOLS (GOV.FUNDED!)
• RELIGION'S POWER TO POISON YOUR ABILITY TO THINK
• LIVING IN, AND LOVING, THE HERE AND NOW (THERE IS NO AFTER!)
• THE BILLIONS OF DOLLARS SPENT BY YOU THE TAX PAYER TO SUPPORT RELIGION AND "BELIEF"
• THE SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE
• ETHICS WITHOUT RELIGION
