“In this light, every one of our efforts aims to promote reason, science, and secularism as a means of improving every Filipino’s quality of life. We wish for everyone to live lives free of ignorance and oppression—in a society where they are able to act and think for themselves, and in a country where religion and governance are clearly and permanently separated.”
