It is a gathering of atheists, agnostics, humanists, freethinkers and skeptics at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Harrisburg, PA from September 28th-30th, 2012. Why do school boards and people involved in government functions often feel the need to pray before their meetings? Brian talks about some of the actions his group is taking to put an end to the practice. What is going on in Pennsylvania when the elected representatives are using their time and energy to pass a "year of the bible" declaration and  some bill to recognize all religious books as respected by everyone? Brian lives in a state that has become infamous due to some of the ways religion is inserted into government, forced on others, and the way atheists are made to feel unwelcome.
