The Ethical Culture Society is a humanistic religion founded in 1876, whose core values center on ethics.  We place our common concern for human worth and dignity above religious dogma.  We offer instead a spiritual community based on compassion, responsibility, and reason.  

Although Ethical Culture Societies encourage freedom of belief and conscience for each individual, our core value of ethical living is the foundation for the following ideas we hold in common:

• We affirm the worth, dignity, and uniqueness of every human being.
  
• We hold our relationships with our fellow humans to be more important than agreement about the existence of a supreme being.
  
• We work together to improve our world and the world of our children.
  
• We help our children to develop their own code of ethics to draw on when faced with difficult choices.
