Does a group whose stated purpose is to “promote a life without religion or superstition” fit into the list below? Is “promotion” the same as “proselytization?” In my opinion, if the Laurier Freethought Alliance were to remove the line referring to promoting their beliefs and stuck with what they argue their intention is, then there would be nothing to quibble about.
The group says they meet to discuss topics among themselves. Conversion, so it appears, is not their goal. As such this group should be an official Campus Club. As long as they aim to proselytize the group should not.

Quoting Anatoly and Tyler (VP and Pres of LFA) on LFA’s facebook group. After posting the Mohammed cartoon, the following comments were posted as well. (spelling mistakes left in for accuracy)
Anatoly: “That’s the one of the ‘infamous’ Muhammad cartoons! Sweeeeet.â€
Tyler: “should i take it down? … i’m scared nowâ€
Anatoly: “Yes Tyler, I’d suicide bomb your ass if it wasnt for the shortage of virginsâ€
Now does anyone see a problem with incorporating them into this list?
