Living Principles


  1. Accept the consequences of all your actions and take personal responsibility for them.
  2. Treat others as you would reasonably expect them to want to be treated.
  3. Endeavour to empathise with others and practice compassion.
  4. Respect every person’s right to have control over their own body.
  5. Consider others, including future generations and the world which gave us life.
  6. Strive to discover what is most likely to be true, not to believe what you wish to be true.
  7. Rely on the best tool yet devised to understand the natural world - The Scientific Method.
  8. Appreciate that we are products of the natural universe.
  9. Celebrate that you are fortunate to exist as a consciously aware being.
  10. Immerse yourself in the awe and wonder of the natural universe and its mysteries.

The above are drawn from various humanist sources and edited to be succinct, and for each to begin with a motivational word.

The first five relate to how we treat others, and personal responsibility.
The next five relate to rational inquiry and personal experience.
