Billed by supporters as "the largest gathering of the secular movement in world history," yesterday between 10,000 and 20,000 people gathered on the National Mall in Washington for the Reason Rally according to a report by Metro Weekly. The featured speaker was British author and scientist Richard Dawkins. No current politicians spoke at the rally, but former Iowa Senator Tom Harkin and former California Representative Pete Stark sent greetings.
