The discussion was held in the beautiful Oxford Examination Schools as part of the Oxford Think Week &#8211; a week of high profile free public events on atheist, Humanist and secular themes organized by six separate societies (more information at http:\/\/www.thinkweek.co.uk).  Hundreds of tickets were snapped within the first few minutes of them becoming available and people queued on the high street from one hour before the event started.  Anyway, enough talk.  Here are some photos from the event.  I might upload some more if I find the time.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 25%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-232 gallery-columns-4 gallery-size-thumbnail'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.josephcaruana.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/blog_dg_01.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.josephcaruana.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/blog_dg_01-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-233\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-233'>\n\t\t\t\tRichard Dawkins\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.josephcaruana.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/blog_dg_02.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.josephcaruana.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/blog_dg_02-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-234\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-234'>\n\t\t\t\tRichard Dawkins\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.josephcaruana.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/blog_dg_03.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.josephcaruana.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/blog_dg_03-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-235\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-235'>\n\t\t\t\tAnthony C.
