This Union advocates for the principles of rationality, secularism, and skepticism, as well as the separation of church and state.
The UIRRA endeavors to spread awareness about rationalism and the scientific understanding of the natural world. It aims to challenge supernatural beliefs, religious dogmas, and unquestioned faith by encouraging critical thinking, evidence-based reasoning, and a secular worldview among its members and the general public.
As an atheist and agnostic organization, the UIRRA provides a platform for individuals who reject the existence of a deity and those who acknowledge the limitations of knowledge regarding the existence of a higher power. The Union advocates for equal rights and opportunities for atheists and agnostics, battling discrimination and challenging religious privileges in society.
Through lectures, publications, public debates, and social events, the Italian Union of Rationalist Atheists and Agnostics aims to foster a society that embraces reason, science, and evidence-based thinking. Its members actively engage in the promotion of secular ethics and the protection of individual freedoms, believing that a rational approach to life can lead to personal fulfillment and societal progress.
