We promote:
- freedom of religion, freedom of conscience and freedom of speech
- women’s equality and reproductive rights
- equal rights for LGBT people in all the European Union
- a secular Europe – democratic, peaceful, open and just, with no privilege for religious or belief organisations
- one law for all, no religious exemptions from the law
- state neutrality in matters of religion and belief
We protest against:
- the privileged status of the churches under Article 17 of the TFEU (Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union)
- the privileged status of churches in countries where they are established
- the special status of the Vatican at the United Nations and its economic and political privileges across Europe
- state-funded religious schools
