Solidarity Statement for the Freedom to Believe











The Creator of the Universe is known and called by many different names. The human experience of worship through expressions of love is perhaps the single most powerful energy at our command.











I celebrate the beauty of cultural diversity in matters of spiritual expression.





The freedom to hold beliefs of ones choosing and to change them is central to an individuals search for meaning. The human mind, endowed with reason and conscience, must be free to search for truth.











I honor each individuals journey to find that place of peace.











In an age hungering for unity and justice in human affairs, I acknowledge the need for peaceful co-existence between different belief systems. The right to peacefully gather and share ones beliefs safely in organized communities must be protected everywhere.











I stand in solidarity with all faiths of humanity, by reaffirming that liberty and freedom to believe are divine gifts, and these gifts are for all of us to enjoy without fear or intimidation.











This is a central and undeniable human right.
