Supporting the secular community can literally spell the difference between life and death. Activism - Reason Six Secular activism has a rich heritage that extends far back into ancient times. To celebrate the many individuals, events and accomplishments that are part of the Secular Movement reminds us of the importance of our action and the fact that it is not just for naught. We gain strength from past successes and are rejuvenated in our optimism for the future that lies ahead, a future we hope to continue shaping. Remnants of the Enlightenment continue to illuminate but it is we who are responsible for keeping the flame burning bright.
Many people hope to contribute something valuable to society.
They have ideas about how to change the world, or at least opinions on what changes need to be made.

Involvement in a movement that is committed to the cause to which you subscribe allows an outlet for your voice to be heard. It provides you with the resources and support to make the changes you think worthwhile. It immortalizes your efforts and celebrates your life.
