The news website Vox reported about [[Reason Rally 2016]]:
{{Cquote|It is clear, too, that almost nobody who takes the stage at Reason Rally was ever trained as a preacher. The whole thing is languid, urgent words in measured tones. The goal is an "end to bigotry," in the pitch of a polite request, to "reject" a supernatural worldview with all the force of tepid applause. Jamie Raskin says the job of politicians is to "listen to scientists" and closes with "Put your thinking caps on America!" [[Penn Jillette]] struggles to get a video playing, chokes up over Hitchens, then plays a Bob Dylan knockoff about his love for all people. The [[James Randi|Amazing Randi]] devotes half an hour to a muted jeremiad against the obscure "facilitated communication" hoax. Peter says he does not know what "FC" is, but he'll look into it.<ref>[http://www.vox.com/2016/6/29/12051872/reason-rally American atheists are on the rise.
