I am member of the Freedom From Religion Foundation. Here is a prayer from this issue of Freethought Today. We would do well to remember the simple golden rules as we go about our business on this sad anniversary of tragedy:
Atheist’s Prayer
Let us remember our brotherhood with others as we hear this prayer which is addressed to us rather than to our gods.
Let us rise each morning, and strive each day, to do only that which brings happiness and joy to others, and avoid doing things that cause others hurt or pain.
Let us use our minds and our reason to foster behavior based on the mutuality and reciprocity inherent in human relationships, and let us always respect the dignity and worth of each other.
And let us, above all, love one another,
not to obtain rewards for ourselves now or hereafter or to avoid punishment, but rather always to bring each other contentment and peace. So be it.
