Read the Charter. Preamble We stand at a critical moment in Earth's history, a time when humanity must choose its future.
As the world becomes increasingly interdependent and fragile, the future at once holds great peril and great promise. To move forward we must recognize that in the midst of a magnificent diversity of cultures and life forms we are one human family and one Earth community with a common destiny. We must join together to bring forth a sustainable global society founded on respect for nature, universal human rights, economic justice, and a culture of peace.
Towards this end, it is imperative that we, the peoples of Earth, declare our responsibility to one another, to the greater community of life, and to future generations. Earth, Our Home Humanity is part of a vast evolving universe. Americans United. Secular Coalition for America. Logo of the Secular Coalition for America The Secular Coalition works to increase visibility and respect for nontheistic viewpoints in the United States and to protect and strengthen the secular character of the U.S. government.
The Coalition advocates complete separation of church and state within American politics which they claim is clearly established in the U.S. Constitution under the First Amendment. They point out that freedom of conscience, which includes religious freedom, was of such importance that it was made the first of all freedoms protected in the Bill of Rights.[2] The Coalition holds reason and science as its guiding tenets for public policy.
