A novel idea emerged from Margaret Downey (
Atheist Alliance International) and Hemant Mehta (
Friendly Atheist) back in 2008: a unity convention in which all the various national atheist groups coordinated a massive combined meeting. PZ Myers (
Pharyngula) is now on board and popularizing the idea in the form of a 2013 atheist "unity convention" in Washington DC:
We could all join hands in the Mall and make a joyful noise for humanity and reason, and then adjourn to the Smithsonian for some tasty science.
My question for you is simple. If such a convention was held in Washington DC in 2013, would you attend? I think we can probably agree that such a large gathering is a fine idea and something
worth supporting, at least in some abstract sense. What I'm curious about is whether you would actually attend.
