I appreciate Dr. Peterson making this call to treat atheists with cordiality and respect. I would hate to see these atheists greeted by any angry seniors shouting, "tolerance and political correctness is bad". We get enough of that at our own General Conference.

It’s obviously an in-your-face choice of venue and date, but I hope that Utahans in general, and Latter-day Saint Utahans in particular, will treat them cordially and with respect.
