They are kids of young age but their strength of mind is as big as that of a grown-up individual.
Taking pride in calling themselves young atheists, 10-year-old Sankalp Gora and eight-year-old Arun were the most delightful part of a two-day international atheist conference, hosted by the Atheist Centre, Vijayawada, at Siddhartha auditorium in the city on Friday and Saturday.
Since it was a gathering of atheists, rationalists and humanists from across the globe, it was in the fitness of things to include a few ‘sleight of hand’ tricks popularly used by religious con men to dupe gullible masses.
Sankalp is the great-grandson of Gora and Saraswathi Gora and grandson of prominent physician G. Samaram while Arun is the son of Babu Gogineni, International Director of the International Humanist and Ethical Union (IHEU).
