CITY: Atlanta, GA (Atheist Alliance of America conference)
DATES: October 15-18
EVENT: Atheist Alliance of America conference
TOPIC: Atheism and Sexuality
SUMMARY: The sexual morality of traditional religion tends to be based, not on solid ethical principles, but on a set of taboos about what kinds of sex God does and doesn’t want people to have. And while the sex-positive community offers a more thoughtful view of sexual morality, it still often frames sexuality as positive by seeing it as a spiritual experience. What are some atheist alternatives to these views? How can atheists view sexual ethics without a belief in God? And how can atheists view sexual transcendence without a belief in the supernatural?
LOCATION: Crowne Plaza Hotel, 1325 Virginia Avenue, Atlanta, GA
HOST: Atheist Alliance of America
OTHER SPEAKERS: Bria Crutchfield, Jeffrey Tayler, Miri Mogilevsky, Monette Richards, Matt Facciani, David Diskin, Richard Haynes, Phil Ferguson, Sarah Morehead, Lucien Greaves, Stephanie Guttormson, Dale McGowan, Mandisa Thomas, Shawn Jeffers, Inna Shevchenko, more
