One of the major downsides of atheism is the lack of seasonal invitations. Many Americans simply don’t want to party with folks who question the legitimacy of worshipping a Bronze Age desert god, or of hailing a zombie miracle worker as humanity’s savior.
Fear not, ye godless, the Humanist Association totally has your back. In what sounds like the real-life version of Seinfeld’s Festivus-for-the-rest-of-us, Sunday’s sensibilist shindig features a keynote address by American Humanist Association president Mel Lipman as well as the classical musical stylings of String Theory.
In an obvious attempt to discourage attendance by deranged worshippers of genocidal sky-gods, magician Arlen Zachary will turn some tricks as well. As anyone who followed the Christian backlash against Harry Potter knows, nothing strikes terror in the hearts of a zombie-humper more than a real miracle worker. Shazam! (Joshua Valocchi)
