The Global Center for Religious Research (GCRR) is hosting the 2020 International eConference on Atheism next month, September 3–5. I will be among the presenters. Registration is super affordable, only $15. In fact, if you use the promo code “RichardCarrier” (one word) online, you will get $4 off even that ticket price (or join the GCRR and get $5 off instead).

The three-day all-online conference is open to believers and nonbelievers. As they put it, “the purpose of this multidisciplinary virtual conference is to advance the scientific and philosophical understanding of atheism, nonreligion, agnosticism, and counterapologetics today.” And is for “scholars, educators, and practitioners to present their research into recent innovations, trends, and concerns in contemporary atheism.” It also hopes to “promote dialogue and understanding among nonbelievers, as well as those who interact with them.” And of course, “because the conference is held online, scholars and students can attend from the comfort and safety of their own home at lower costs without having to worry about travel and lodging expenses.”

Follow the conference link for more details; including full speaker list, schedule, and registration, although some of the names listed as keynote speakers aren’t on the schedule, so either the schedule or speaker list might not be final. But already who’s on the schedule is worth watching. Lots of names you’ll recognize or that I can definitely vouch for as folks who will make an interesting presentation.

As is shown there, I will be presenting at noon (EST) on Friday the 4th, “Bayesian Reasoning’s Power to Challenge Religion and Empirically Justify Atheism.” I’ll do a quick thirty minute summary of what that sentence even means and why it’s an innovative and important revelation, and then take thirty minutes of Q&A. There will be an associated “handout” for my talk that I will put a link to in here once the conference begins.
