Anti-Theism International Convention 2020
April 4-5th Brighton England
Anti-theism International is named in homage to Christopher Hitchens who preferred to call himself an ‘anti-theist’.
The 2020 European Convention offers presentations by top-rank speakers all day Saturday and Sunday morning, with a separately
ticketed Saturday evening Gala Award Banquet and Cabaret.
Fulfilling the International nature of this event, our speakers represent the UK, the USA, Canada, Denmark and Nigeria.
Our Mission
Anti-Theism International seeks to combat the toxic influence of religions on government, education systems
and society at large, and to normalize non-belief.
We wish to continue the outstanding work being done by Christopher Hitchens before his premature death.
