About
Do you prefer evidence to faith? Value science over superstition? Feel that decisions should be based on reason rather than dogma? If so, then the University of Melbourne Secular Society is the club for you!
We offer a unique alternative to the many religious clubs on campus. In addition to standard social activities of BBQs, pub nights and movie screenings, we also hold discussions, lectures and forums on issues surrounding science, religion, secularism, humanism and skepticism.
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 stimulate debate surrounding ideas of religion, science, philosophy, politics and ethics.
(d) to defend the separation of church and state, individual freedoms and civil liberties for all persons, regardless of race, sex, gender, class, creed, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, and disability.
(e) to create a united campus community for freethinkers, skeptics, atheists, agnostics and humanists in the pursuit of these common goals.
