Ten Guidelines of Humanism

  1. Treat others as you would reasonably want and expect to be treated by others.
  2. Never bear false witness to the young and credulous.
  3. Do not pass on traditional myths, manipulations and superstitions as truth.
  4. Never imply to the young and naive that you know what you do not know.
  5. Recognize that we are all part of nature, the result of unguided evolutionary change.
  6. Understand our obligations to the sustainment and integrity of all life.
  7. Admit that in nature there aren't any mysteries, just temporary ignorance of natural facts.
  8. Do not be afraid of the truth learned in gentle, consistent and rational discipline.
  9. Enjoy helping the young to excel beyond their ancestors as they stand on your reliable shoulders.
  10. When you offer your shoulders, be very careful not to face backwards towards the darkness of the superstitious past, but forward to the light of the future.

Video Lecture & Discussion Series, "Consciousness and Its Implications," began Wed., Nov. 11. Additional lectures in the series are planned on the second Wednesday of each month. See Calendar items. 

Alan Palmer, James Presley and Glen Schmiesing were reelected to the DAH Board at the January 2010 Annual Meeting. Also passed were the two bylaws changes, including the one affecting dues. Members who are also members of the American Humanist Association (AHA) now get $10 reduction on our regular $35 annual dues.

Dave Martin, DAH Founder and former Board member will continue as a member of the DAH, but he will concentrate his energies on a new non-profit, the Secular Union for Delaware.
