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.
