The main highlights were:
1. All members discussed about how they became atheists and how they discovered that there is “nothing” (beyond the physical, natural world).
2. We also discussed how we came out of closet with our stance on religion.
3. We discussed about how is religion and politics a vicious combination.
4. Interestingly, we had a brief discussion about philanthropy and atheism. Are they related or not? Most of the members differed on this issue.
5. Members also discussed about well acclaimed documentaries/movies like The Zeitgeist (I know it has been debunked by a few but still interesting enough), The God Who Wasn’t There, Religulous, and Contact (Based upon a novel by Carl Sagan).
6. Another thing which all the members agreed and insisted upon is setting up an concrete organisation or body which will bring better co-ordination and better efficiency to the group. It can be something like IA chapter of Mumbai.
To sum up, it was quite a successful meet and would like to have another one with bigger numbers in future.
