Anti-Theism International Convention 2020
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.
Stephen Fry chose the winner of our Paint a Portrait of Christopher Hitchens competition and tweeted us.

Our Mission
