SANE is going to be giving presentations on atheism to a group of high school students brought to Berkeley by Stand to Reason, an organization of Christian Apologetists that aim to defend their faith with reason. The group will be led by Brett Kunkle; a collection of his writings can be found here, including some rather interesting ones about the "Berkeley Mission" and atheism in general. Our presentations will be open to the public and will be in 110 Barrows, on Thursday night, at 7 P.M. |

Students for A Nonreligious Ethos is the only specifically nonreligious student organization at the University of California at Berkeley Primarily, SANE offers a forum for open-minded individuals to freely discuss philosophical, scientific, religious, political, and historical topics free from intolerance. Willingness to doubt and desire to hear perspectives define SANE. Though the forum upholds a nonreligious ethos, religious insight often provides unique understanding. SANE subscribes to strict separation between religion and government; all too often religious dogma becomes the tool of bigotry, the desecration of human dignity, and the violation of human liberty.
SANE is returning this year after a lengthy hiatus; meetings are at 7 PM every Friday, in 206 Dwinele. |

"The very core of our rational, secular, free, and democratic society has been severely marginalized in our communities, on our campuses, even in our classrooms. We cannot afford to endure this development with indifference. A resolute campaign to educate people about the principles of reason is necessary as never before.
Organization at the student level is necessary as never before. Though the tide of unreason is rising, we have taken it upon ourselves to educate people in spite of it. Our task is to demonstrate, by argument and practice, that it is possible to lead a good and meaningful life without religion. Ethics and morality can be based on rational and humanistic ideals and values." - SANE's original Declaration of Necessity, Tyson Gustus and Jason Bussey, 1999. |
