The University of Melbourne Secular Society

Our club aims (a) to encourage freedom from superstition, irrationalism, and dogma.  (b) to further the acceptance and application of science, reason, and critical thinking on  campus and in the wider community. (c) to challenge misrepresentations and promote acceptance of non­religious lifestyles.  (d) to promote debate surrounding ideas of religion, science, philosophy, politics and  ethics. (e) to create a campus community for freethinkers and skeptics.  (f) to cultivate in ourselves — and others — a sense of responsibility to, and compassion  for, humanity.  (g) to counter all forms of religious political extremism.  (h) to defend religious freedom and the separation of church and state.  (i) to defend individual freedoms and civil liberties for all persons, regardless of  race, sex, gender, class, creed, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, and disability.   (j) to unite freethinkers, skeptics, atheists, agnostics and humanists in the pursuit of  these common goals.
