Before "Women of Faith" Hits AAC, Female Atheists Throw a Gathering of Their Own

Women of Faith, a conference put on by the nation's largest Christian book publisher, hits the American Airlines Center next week.

The "Feminine Faces of Freethought" conference is not coincidentally being held tomorrow at Resource Center Dallas.

It's safe to say that there won't be a lot of overlap between their attendees.

"I was just looking at their website," says Melanie Clemmer cheerily. She's the outreach director for the Fellowship of Freethought, one of DFW's atheist and humanist groups. "I was going down a rabbithole of internet videos of Women of Faith, which is kind of scary."

1. I hope Rebecca Watson will attend the Freethought event.

She's great. I'd like to see some real activism to counter "Women of Faith" message, especially if Phyllis Schlafly is in attendance. I think I'd like to see Rebecca and Phyllis mixing it up. Watson would kick Schlafly's ass.
