The Philosophy of AAU

The Association recognizes scientific method as the most reliable rational means towards understanding reality. To question and critically examine all ideas, testing them in the light of facts, leads to the discovery of truth.

As there is no scientific evidence for supernatural phenomena, atheists reject belief in `God’, gods and other supernatural beings. The universe, the world in which we live, and the evolution of life are entirely natural occurrences.

No personality or mind can exist without the process of living matter to sustain it. This life, here and now, is the only one we have. All that remains after a person dies is the memory of their life and deeds in the minds of those who live.

Atheists reject superstition and prejudice, along with the irrational fears they cause. We recognize the complexity and inter-dependence of life on this planet. As rational and ethical beings, we accept the challenge of making a creative and responsible contribution to life.
