Atheists plan to be out in force when the Democratic National Convention opens in Charlotte, NC today. A local group, the Charlotte Atheists and Agnostics, is sponsoring the demonstration. Here's the announcement from their Facebook page:

“Join the Charlotte Atheists and Agnostics (CAA), an American Atheists affiliate, during the Democratic National Convention as they speak out for the separation of church and state in our government.

The protest will be held September 4, 2012, from 6:00 p.m. - 6:30 p.m. at the Speakers Platform on the corner of Stonewall Street and Caldwell Street in Charlotte, North Carolina.
The protest will include speakers from the CAA discussing the necessity of the separation of religion and government in the United States.

This event is centered around the need for separation of religion and government. There is a need, even at the DNC, to make our voices heard in opposition to the overwhelming influence of religion in our political system.
