Welcome, athiests.
May you all enjoy your stay while in our great city of Salt Lake. Enjoy the great hospitality and good food while you are here for your convention.
Each and everyone of your members do have a spirit or soul, you just haven't ever had the desire to recognize it, but the day will come as you depart your mortal lives, as we all do, you will wish you would have given your soul a chance to help you through mortal life, which isn't easy for any us at times.
There is an afterlife, my friends, for I have been visited more than once from spirits from the spirit world, and I have had friends who died and went into the spirit world, but were sent back to mortal life to fulfill their purpose on Earth. Spirits have communicated with me and this has truly inspired me to believe in a God and life after this one. Just be fair in your beliefs, and respect all those who do believe in God and life here after for that is the honorable thing to do.
When the time comes and you are dying, say a personal prayer to God for forgiveness, for He is a merciful God, who loves us all regardless how some of his children believe during their mortal life experiences.
