Statement of PurposeTo safeguard and promote freedom of conscience among peoples of faith in that:
- In America, faith is voluntary and cannot be imposed;
- In America, faith is consistent with freedom of inquiry, critical thinking and the application of reason and logic;
- In America, faith tolerates those who question, those who change their faith and those who reject faith altogether.
It is affirmed by the American Freedom Alliance that humanity thrives on freedom of conscience. Without it, the human personality and its potential for goodness, creativity and altruism are stifled. To the extent that freedom of conscience is denied, the opportunities for oppression, coercion and totalitarianism are multiplied exponentially.
