The purpose of the UTSA is to promote and lead education and discussion on all aspects of secular freethought worldviews and related topics, and to organize social and community activism.

1. Community: The UTSA will promote the various secular worldviews, including scientific naturalism, humanism, transhumanism, atheism, agnosticism, and skepticism, with special emphasis on values, ethics, and decision-making based on the here and now, human experience and rational evidence- and logic-driven analysis. Through community building, the group will demonstrate that such ways of life are ethical, optimistic, and satisfying.

2. Methodology: The UTSA will promote freethought, critical and scientific thinking, and the importance of evidence and freedom of inquiry as the methods of choice. To this end, the group will elucidate to the public the crucial differences between science and other methodologies.

3. Outreach: The UTSA will actively engage in social and political activism. The group will encourage and advocate the application of the above methodology in all levels of education and in media, and in community and governmental matters. The group will foster involvement from students and youth, but is open to members of all ages.

4. Cooperation: Recognizing that religious communities have a right to exist in a free society, we are committed to working with individuals and groups of any perspective who share a belief in a secular society, freedom of speech and inquiry, and rational humanistic public policy.
