Our vision, mission and values
Our vision is of a society that lives and grows through evidence-based reasoning and secular values.
Our mission is to be:
- an active atheist resource for the people of Sydney,
- an open and welcoming community for atheists and atheist-friendly people
We work through education, charity and by representing the voice of reason in public debate. We also get together to celebrate life and have fun.
Our values are:
- an open and inquiring attitude;
- evidence based reasoning;
- inclusiveness and diversity; and
- respect, compassion and goodwill.
How we work
We hold regular get togethers:
- talks starting 6:30 pm on the second Sunday evening of every month at the Royal Albert Pub, Surry Hills; and
- social lounges starting 6:30 pm on the last Thursday evening of every month (venue changes).
We also run events where we all chip in to do things like charity work. We are an open organisation led by a Committee whose job it is to enable us all to express ourselves as atheists and atheist friendly people, do good community work and have fun.
Major activities in the pipeline
We are currently planning an advertising campaign to take place in February intended to make sure people know they can be good without gods. We are also holding our annual Festivus event (its a festival for the rest of us"!) in December. And we are planning our first conference in April next year.
