- Humanism is a positive way of life based on reason and experience. Humanists believe in the natural not the supernatural.
- Morality springs from respect for each other and in recognising the need to live together in harmony and cooperation.
- Individual beliefs should not be imposed on others nor should privileges be gained through particular beliefs.
- Humanists seek solely rational ways of solving human problems.
