Evolution is a natural process common to all life on this planet as well as the universe. There is no divine intervention or an intelligent designer to account for existence. We strive to construct a rewarding life for all peoples and to pass on a better world for succeeding generations. We promote peaceful association based on common moral decencies- integrity, honesty, respect, responsibility, and kindness. And, we value reason, persuasion, and compromise when settling differences.
Violence is the least desired way of settling differences.
Government has no right to intervene. We challenge discrimination and intolerance based on race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, age, nationality, or class. We work toward the ethical education of children. We want them to learn the importance of rational thought, morality, and compassion. We gratefully accept the benevolent teachings of all religions, but stop short of belief in the supernatural and the religious intolerance that has led to many wars.
