National Atheist Party Cancels Convention Due To Lack Of Funding

Lame stuff!

As a non-believer myself, I find "organized groups professing atheism and secular causes" as distasteful as organized religion itself in all is permutations. Atheism, as I see it, should be about the absence of religion. Much as the absence of pain is when it goes away.
Atheists should not be bothering other people with their own self-righteous form of proselytizing of atheism in the same obnoxious way religions do with their beliefs. To me, atheism is getting out of the other persons personal life. That is their own business, not yours. If one has their faith in a God that should be their own, just as I don't have faith in a god. It is my own, and it is no one else’s business. It is the creed with which I'm comfortable.
Simply put, all of you, BUTT OUT! m/r


National Atheist Party Cancels Convention Due To Lack Of Funding « CBS Connecticut

BOSTON (CBS Connecticut) — The National Atheist Party is canceling its secular convention due to a lack of funding.

Troy Boyle, the party’s president, announced on its website won’t be holding NAPCON 2012 in Boston in October because it would bankrupt the group.

“After this year’s amazing Reason Rally, and flush with our successful recruiting and a spike in donations, we decided to hold our OWN secular event. NAPCON 2012 was supposed to be our biggest and best public event; our chance to show the U.S. that we could fund and organize a large, noteworthy and impressive ‘Secular Summit’ that would attract media buzz and even more interested members and donations. 

-don't bother-
