We try to be good and fair to everybody and treat them as we would like to be treated.
We believe that all human beings should live in peace no matter what their race, sex, religion, what they think, who they love, or where they come from.
We solve our disagreements by listening and talking to each other and making agreements.
We believe that voting is the best way for groups of people to decide what to do and to protect themselves from being ruled by bad leaders.
We help those less fortunate than ourselves help themselves.
We do our best to protect the earth and all of its creatures.
We want to enjoy life, grow up happy and healthy, and develop all of our talents as best we can.
We respect each other’s privacy and our own right never to be hurt or abused.
We love learning and new ideas rather than being satisfied with what is already known.
We use the thinking part of our brains to understand the universe and do not believe in supernatural powers or superstitions.
We don’t believe anything just because someone says it is true. We always ask questions, think, and decide for ourselves.
