Ten commitments — not commandments. Each one is a standard we hold ourselves to, and invite others to test.
Nothing is above scrutiny, including our own beliefs.
Follow what's demonstrably true over what's merely comfortable.
Borrow no one's conclusions without examining them yourself.
Favor observation, testing, and revision over dogma.
Every person's worth stands independent of what they believe.
Faith and its absence are both freely held positions, arrived at differently by different people.
Decisions made from fear rarely hold up to honest scrutiny.
Disagreement, conducted in good faith, sharpens ideas rather than threatening them.
Certainty is a stopping point. We'd rather keep moving.
Above ideology, above tradition — people and clear thinking come first.
