What is the South African Secular Society?
SASS is a Non-Profit Organisation whose members provide services, education, and support to non-religious individuals and external organisations not aligned to religion.
*SASS supports a naturalistic worldview: Naturalism offers a comprehensive worldview based on a scientific and empirical conceptualisation of reality. It puts forward a positive, rational and fulfilling alternative to faith-based religions and non-empirical worldviews, and supports atheism, agnosticism, non-theism, freethought, and humanism. SASS is open to any person who wants to join.
Vision
That any person, organisation, or group of persons has the freedom to choose no alignment to beliefs or religion. That they may do so without being disadvantaged, face discrimination, or be subjected to legal recrimination. That this choice is available to each individual in South Africa in both private and public society throughout their life.
Mission
To ensure our message is broad enough to attract new members and ensure it, as well as provide information to the public. It is our intention to provide the following three support structures
Support
To foster a social community group for persons who consider themselves secularists, atheists, or non-theists to meet regularly and engage with other like-minded persons.
Education
To provide education for our members and the general public about secularism
Outreach
To equip SASS volunteers with the resources required to provide support to the public and individuals through presentations, meetings, and information sessions.
