National Day of Reason Set to Compete With 2012 Day of Prayer

National Day of Reason Set to Compete With 2012 Day of Prayer


Two groups that represent a large percentage of atheists, the American Humanist Association and the Secular Coalition of America, are joining forces to combat the National Day of Prayer by promoting the National Day of Reason, which is held on the first Thursday of May each year.

Rep. Pete Stark, a California Democrat, has sponsored a proclamation on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives for the second year in a row giving his support to the cause and as an alternative for atheist Americans to celebrate "reason," as opposed to prayer. Stark's proclamation reads in part:


TONY DIGIROLAMO- PRAY, PRAY FERVENTLY, PRAY LONGER WITHOUT CEASING.
