b'In his presentation \\u201cBreaking the Taboo of Atheism in Black Communities,\\u201d Leo Igwe said that \\u201cIf there are people who should be religious and theistic today, it is not black people.\\u201d

Yet black people are reputed to be the most religious people on earth, and the social stigma for the black atheist can be significant and often severe.

As skeptics, how do we approach the issue of color in relation to non-belief?\\xa0 Should we strive to be \\u201ccolorblind,\\u201d ignoring labels like black, white, etc?\\xa0 Or should color be acknowledged, embraced and even celebrated by those who accept the evolutionary explanation of our origins (aka: we are all Africans)?

Tonight features a panel of very special guests: \\xa0Jamila Bey: Director of Commnications for the Secular Student Alliance, Alix Jules, President of Black Nonbelievers of Dallas, and Bridgette Gaudette, Executive Director of the Florida Humanist Association. \\xa0The show\\xa0will\\xa0respectfully approach a subject that is controversial, even considered taboo, and will hopefully provide education and resources for atheists of all colors and cultures.
