The Anti-Theism International Convention 2020 is an atheist conference scheduled to take place in Brighton, England on April 4th-5th, 2020.[2] The convention is named in to pay tribute to Christopher Hitchens who preferred to call himself an ‘anti-theist’.[3] The atheist Lawrence Krauss, who is accused of sexually harassing women, is one of the scheduled speakers.[4] Stephen Fry and Ian McEwan and going to serve as judges for a contest at the event.
According to the YouTube atheist Mr. Atheist, eight atheists, seven of which are white males, were scheduled to be speakers at the convention (see: Atheism and white males and Atheism, race and gender).[5] However, the atheists Maryam Namazie and Aron Ra have withdrawn from being speakers at the event.[6][7] The Anti-Theism International Convention 2020 website now states: "Fulfilling the International nature of this event, our speakers represent the UK, the USA, Canada, Denmark and Nigeria." (Lola Tinabu, a black, woman atheist from Nigeria will be speaking on behalf of Association of Black Humanists).[8]
In recent years, international cooperation among atheists has been low and there is much infighting within the atheist movement (see: Atheism and international cooperation among atheists and atheist factions). For example, the 2018 Global Atheist Convention was cancelled (see: 2018 Global Atheist Convention that was cancelled).
The new atheist Richard Dawkins tweeted about the Anti-Theism International Convention 2020: "Looking forward to this anti-theism convention in Brighton, 4th-5th April 2020."[9]
