Millions of Americans are living happily without religion.
It's really quite simple.
We are the products of the billions of years that came before us, alive and awake for this brief period of time, savoring every moment, and committed to making the world a better place.
We are the human family -- connected. We experience together the human condition, in all of its triumphs and through all of its challenges.
We accept that our lives will end, but we take great joy in knowing that life keeps going.
We celebrate the advances and discoveries that, each day, improve lives, stir our imagination, and stretch the boundaries of the possible.
Ultimately, we know we are a tiny but unique part of the ever-evolving story of life in the cosmos, responsible for living our lives with honesty, dignity, compassion, and truth.
We also know it is a magnificent story, and we are thrilled to be here.
We are secular humanists, and we are living happily without religion.
