I would love to hear Richard Dawkins, James Randi, and Stefan Fry. That would be a dream!

I thought Atheism was a non prophet organisation

You mean like that verse in the quran that says you can trash your woman but really means that you should only send her away or tap her lightly? God works in mysterious ways indeed. Praise be to him, how can the unbeliever not see?

Forget 208, it'll cost like $1000+ for me. Flight ticket and all. That's like 9.81 'massages' at my local parlor.

Unforunately, Dawkins has already been on this morning, but there's a lot of other interesting speakers still to come over the next two days:
