That supports Humanism, freethought, "Brights", non-religion, atheism and agnosticism. SASS will NOT accept you as a Marriage Officer if you promote belief in the supernatural. This includes a god (or gods), devils, angels, fairies, tokoloshe, witchcraft, astrology, psychics, homoeopathy, Creationism, crystal healing, and similar non-science.
