The Secular Student Alliance promotes the ideals of scientific and critical inquiry, democracy, secularism and human-based ethics. 

 

Our principles revolve around education, service, community, and cooperation. We believe students should be exposed to, and understand, arguments against the existence of a higher power, whether they choose to accept them or not.

 

We live under the stigma that nonbelievers are selfish and close-minded, but hope that even minor contributions to the community will overturn this stereotype. 

 

We aim to:

• Educate ourselves and our communities about religion and nontheism

• Contribute to society through community service

• Participate in our government through activism

• Build a community for nontheists at Pacific Union College

• Cooperate with other groups of both similar and dissimilar viewpoints to foster understanding and communication.

 

We hope that the union of non-religious students in a predominantly Adventist liberal arts college will promote the exchange of ideas, a central part of a higher education.
