Would you happily organize or attend a workshop where Muslims, Mormons, Baha'is, Jews and others could share with attendees information about accessible resources for exploring and practicing their faiths, even though adherents may not be, according to your definition, believers? Believers in many faith groups would avoid such a gathering, and talk of love.
