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 the Earth for future generations by supporting breakthroughs in medicine and technology and by not inflicting needless suffering on any species.

 

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