Mission
- To create a community of persons who believe that the truths of the world can be found through logic, reason and science, and who reject religion, mysticism and superstition as a means of explaining the world around us.
- To promote activism and exchange of ideas important to secularists.
- To make positive contributions to our communities through service and involvement in order to reflect and expand secularists’ positive influence to the community.
- To educate the public on the value of secular ideals, separation of state & church and living without religion.
- To actively support the Separation of Church and State in our communities, state and nation.
Statements
- Maintaining the separation of church and state is necessary for the preservation of free thought and civil liberties.
- Scientific inquiry and logical reasoning are the only valid means of establishing the truths of our world.
- Ethics and morality are the result of an observation of the results of human actions, not the products of any supernatural power.
- The free exchange of ideas contributes to and expands our global knowledge base and ultimately leads to the improvement of the human condition.
