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.
