“The message we want to spread this way is that atheism is a way of life”
-Exactly! Are there any such groups around Indian sub-continent?

Down here in Mexico City we had one coming out march last year. This year we’ll have another, but its not a coming out one again.
This time we’ll be asking for effective separation of church and state and the stop of discrimination against non believers.

You may visit the official site of the march and take note: http://www.ateosmexicanos.com/marcha2009

Down here is the same as in Poland, the catholic church and the religious right get in politics all the time, making proclamations on the media and propiciating ignorance and misinformation about skepticism, critical thinking and the scientific worldview.
Hope you can take a look at our publicity, videos and images, I know all of it is in spanish but still you can take notice and look around, we’ll have pictures and info after the march itself.
Peace!

It’s a bad sign that I learn about this from your site… I’ve been either too busy or too sloppy.

I’m a Mexican atheist, after all!

@David D.G.:

I wonder how long it will be before we dare have an atheist march in Texas?

My money’s on about two to three days before the end of the world.

Last year march was a small group compared to the many marches Mexico city sees every day. I hope they get more people this year and much more exposure.
I wish I could be in Mexico for this, but I’m stuck in the US for a while, however next year in September is the 200th celebration of independence and sure enough I plan to be there and stay a few more days to participate.

And yeah, it would be great to start seeing marches like these here in the US.

Argghh! Why did they have to do this when I’m stuck here in England? Well, they’d better post pictures and videos and get mentioned in a newspaper or three.
