Do I have to believe in everything that you do? Do all of my group's members have to?

No. The SSA recognizes that universal agreement among any group is rare. The SSA's members are willing to discuss, work out, and even live with differences. One principle that unites the SSA's membership is the necessity of the universal application of reasoned inquiry. No subject is considered so sacred that the standards of reason are inapplicable. The SSA was created in part to foster cooperation within the various factions within the Community of Reason; we recognize that those who stand in opposition to the forces of intolerance and irrationality will benefit greatly by working together in spite of minor differences; "united we stand, divided we fall."
