We are a group of people who say you can:
- be a good person;
- understand the world; and
- live a fulfilling life in the community,
all without superstition or religion!
We want people to feel good, and be open, about living this way.
We are a formally constituted, non-profit organisation that:
- works to overturn the negative stereotype of atheism by making a positive contribution to the community through education and by supporting secular charities;
- acts as a voice of reason on important social issues such as secular government and education, equality of sex and sexuality, reproductive rights and the rights of the terminally ill; and
- supports a community of atheist and atheist-friendly people who get together to celebrate life and have fun!
Education is at the heart of what we do. This includes:
- advocating the teaching of evidence-based reasoning and secular ethics;
- explaining the natural phenomenon of religion, its limitations and the fact that it causes harm;
- showing that there is a better, more fulfilling way to live, one that is joyful, ethical and reasonable— we call this “positive atheism”.
We are member-driven and action-oriented. Find out more about how we work and how to get involved.
Our values are:
- an open and inquiring attitude;
- evidence-based reasoning;
- inclusiveness and diversity; and
- respect, compassion and goodwill.
We’re okay that people believe what they like, provided that they don’t hurt or restrict others. We seek a level playing field with religious organisations —we don’t discriminate against religious people or want special status ourselves.
