A Humanist Creed

  • I believe in the real world and in people.
  • I believe in beauty and in the beauty of truth.
  • I believe in separating myth from reality.
  • I believe that people can solve their problems by using imagination and common sense applied with courage and by following basic moral principles.
  • I want to make peace, democracy, and well-being in the world while respecting the freedom of people everywhere.
  • All my life I want to learn and develop, and to enrich the lives of other people.
  • I want to feel the joy of life.

— Peter and Catherine Bishop
