Clark Adams is past-president of the Internet Infidels.

The Secular Web is getting approximately 800,000 hits per day and is seen by over 400,000 unique visitors per month. The Secular Web has arguably introduced more people to freethought than any other single vehicle in the history of western culture.

Clark is past president of Halvason, the Humanist Association of Las Vegas and Southern Nevada. This active organization was awarded AHA's 2002 Chapter of the Year.

Clark has been the primary organizer and emcee of the annual July gathering at Lake Hypatia, the largest annual godless gathering in the Southeast. Clark has been published in Freethought Today, and various freethought and humanist newsletters. Listed in Who's Who in Hell, Clark has spoken at two Atheist Alliance conventions, two Secular Student Alliance conventions, at Hypatia several times and to various local and student freethought and humanist organizations. Clark is listed in various quote lists and quote books with his quote, "If atheism is a religion, then health is a disease."
