Transhumanists
Celebrate Dangerous Copenhagen
Declaration On
Religion
The recent Gods and Politics
conference in
Copenhagen adopted a “Declaration on
Religion in Public Life.” The
conference was
the first European event of Atheist
Alliance
International, and was co-hosted by
AAI and
the Danish Atheist Society. * We
assert the
principle of one law for all, with no
special
treatment for minority communities,
and no
jurisdiction for religious courts for
the
settlement of civil matters or family
disputes. * We reject all
discrimination in
employment (other than for religious
leaders)
and the provision of social services
on the
grounds of race, religion or belief,
gender,
class, caste or sexual orientation. *
We
reject any special consideration for
religion
in politics and public life, and
oppose
charitable, tax-free status and state
grants
for the promotion of any religion as
inimical
to the interests of non-believers and
those of
other faiths. We oppose state funding
for
faith schools. * We support the right
to
secular education, and assert the need
for
education in critical thinking and the
distinction between faith and reason
as a
guide to knowledge, and in the
diversity of
religious beliefs. We support the
spirit of
free inquiry and the teaching of
science free
from religious interference, and are
opposed
to indoctrination, religious or
otherwise...
