The first World Atheist Conference was held in 1972 at Vijayawada sponsored by Atheist Centre. Late Periar Ramasamy and Late Mr. G.D. Naidu had planned to attend the Conference, but they could not attend because of their serious illness. Gora delivered his keynote address, giving the substance of positive atheism. The conference was a laudable success and helped in a great way to propagate atheism as a way of life. Some time later I had another occasion to go to Atheist Centre and it was a pleasure to live with them and to see how a family of atheists actually live in day to day life.
Atheist couple have a large family.
Every one of them is not only an atheist but lives a life of Gandhism. The family is a harmonious blending of Gandhism and atheism. They are a simple folk, with high thoughts and ideals. It is a wonderful family, not very easy to follow. Each member of the family has married from different communities.
