• We do not get our morals from a higher power (that does not mean we don’t have morals).

Our Aims

• To create a more positive image of atheism and atheists, and to fight misconceptions that may exist about atheism and atheists.
• To actively promote and safegaurd secularism by means of lobbying, eg. emailing or other peacefull forms of activism.
• To help literate students on atheist philosophy, history and high profile atheists in atheist movement, and introduce members to other atheist, agnostic and freethought groups and organisations.
• To give atheism and atheists concerns a voice on the compass.
