  • 0.0.4 Objectives and Motivations

    Version 1.1 October 2013                                            Previous Version

     

    What are we trying to do?

    We are trying to define a reasonable approach to the fundamental questions of life, rather than adopting either a religious fundamentalist approach, a vaguely mystical approach, or a too radically sceptical approach.

    So these “global beliefs†could be supported by

    ● Hindus, Jains, Buddhists and Sikhs; as well as

    ● liberal or reformed Jews, liberal Christians and Muslims open to critical analysis; and

    ● those from most other religious faiths; and

    ● evidence based scientists; as well as

    ● passionate sceptics, agnostics and atheists!

    These ‘global beliefs’ and our values are based on reason and evidence, and valid choices, which we believe everyone has the potential to see and understand, regardless of religious, ethnic, national or political background.  more

    What are our motivations?

    ● To help those who are confused to find reasonable answers to the big questions in life;

    ● To help young people wondering about god, religion, Atheism, how to be good – and why;

    ● To show religious people how they can grow within their tradition without losing everything

    ● To show Atheists and non-believers how they can justify and explain reasonable values;

    ● To help those who accept many of the conclusions we reach here to “join the dots†and see how they all fit into an integrated, comprehensive set of beliefs and values;

    ● To help dispel certain misunderstandings, that are held not only by religious people, but also by scientists, sceptics – and many politicians;

    ● To foster a sense of community among those who adopt this reasonable approach to life;

    ● To promote peace and understanding by defining sharable global beliefs and values.

    What critical social issues do we need to address?  See next page.

    Why do we need to do this?

    Many people are worried about religious fanatics: some commit terrorist attacks, many others try to control the government and people’s behaviour.

    On the other hand, many secular people can't say why some things are good and some things bad.  Many people think everything is relative: there is no right and wrong!

     

    What problem are we solving?

    The world faces many conflicts, between ‘the West’ and ‘the Rest’, ‘Islam’ and ‘the Rest’, rich and poor, capitalists and environmentalists, the rulers and the ruled or even city and country.

    Within countries there are conflicts between states, ethnic groups, political parties, classes, castes, religions, genders, generations, elites and the masses

    As individuals many of us are confused about what is the truth, what is right or wrong, and what we should do about it.

    We acknowledge the traditional owners and custodians of Country, throughout all colonised lands, and their connections to land, waters and community. We pay respect by giving voice to truth, values and social justice, acknowledging our shared history, and valuing the cultures of first nations peoples.
