The Atheist Foundation of Australia and the Global Atheist Convention websites have been brought down by hackers. This is clearly motivated by the lead up to the 2010 Global Atheist Convention in Melbourne Australia, with speakers such as Richard Dawkins and PZ Meyers speaking for secularism (something Australia needs, after atheist slogans on t-shirts were illegalised in Sydney during the Catholic Youth Festival of 2008). This is a blatant attack on free-speech. I am particularly disturbed because it is my plan to attend and I hadn't considered the possibility of such resistance from theist groups (oh how naive am I).
