1. Truth is a path you walk, not a box you inherit.We believe in the independent search for truth—free from superstition, tradition, or inherited bias. You are your own compass.
2. Humanity is one family.There is only one race: the human race. We are threads in the same fabric, diverse but indivisible.
3. Equality is not optional.Women and men are two wings of the same bird—neither can soar without the other. No gender, class, or group is born to rule.
4. All religions hold a piece of the puzzle.No one tradition owns the truth. At their best, the world’s religions are chapters in a single story: the evolution of human consciousness.
5. Prejudice is a poison.Whether it's based on religion, race, nation, or class—it divides what is inherently whole. We reject it completely.
6. Science and spirituality must dance together.Science without meaning is cold. Spirituality without reason is blind. Together, they can light the path forward.
7. Education is sacred.Every child, everywhere, deserves to learn. Knowledge is the birthright of all people.
8. We need a common language.A universal auxiliary language would bring the world closer—while honoring the beauty of local cultures.
9. No one should drown in wealth while others starve.We call for the end of the extremes of poverty and wealth. Equity is not envy—it’s empathy made real.
10. Work is not just a job—it’s service.When done in the spirit of contribution, work becomes an act of devotion. Every role matters.
11. Justice is non-negotiable.It is the spine of a healthy society. Religion, at its best, should be a shield for the vulnerable—not a sword for the powerful.
