Core Principles of Humanism

• That we can live full, meaningful lives by relying on the human capacity for rationality, honesty, cooperation, responsibility, fairness, and respect for each other. 

• That we use democratic principles, logic, and scientific inquiry, to find realistic solutions to problems, rather than religious dogma and texts.
  

• That we foster good ethics, virtues and critical thinking in our children to help them grow to be decent, responsible and active members of society.

• That we protect and improve the Earth for future generations by supporting scientific breakthroughs in medicine and technology and by not inflicting needless suffering on other species.

• That separation of state and church is upheld in all levels of government to ensure equality and fairness for everyone.
