Atheism
Atheism, Secular Humanism, Freethinking.......
I hold to the intentions of "freeinquiry" magazine....have good will.
Good Will:
...Eloquently expresses the exuberant life.
...Bestows benefits on both the giver and receiver.
...Expresses human caring.
...Is a precious quality of a life well-lived.
Why?
Because these, as set forth, are the transformational priciples of civilized conduct, and in expressing Good Will you not only add to the sum of human happiness but you Do The Right Thing.
