Humanism	Devon Humanists
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.	Support and represent Humanists in Devon. Provide opportunities to discuss Humanist topics and to meet socially. Promote Humanism by publicising Humanist philosophy and supporting our schools in teaching about Humanism. Advocate secularism in education and in civil affairs. Provide information about humanist ceremonies for those who prefer a non-religious celebration of life's rites of passage.
The only possible basis for a sound morality is mutual tolerance and respect: tolerance of one another's customs and opinions; respect for one another's rights and feelings; awareness of one another's needs. A J Ayer, The Humanist Outlook, 1968
