Church of Sourcism
​​What is Sourcism?
The first principle of Sourcism states belief should always stem from objective scientific evidence and never from unbased faith. Unlike other religions, Sourcism does not make any unsupported claims about humanity or the Universe which are not backed by logic or science. We do not believe humans hold a special place in the Universe, nor do we believe in the existence of a God who is concerned with the affairs of humans. Our name comes from the first state of existence, known simply as The Source.
​
Basic logic dictates nothing can come from nothing. The Universe we live in currently exists in a state of something rather than nothing. Therefore, it follows the Universe could not have come from nothing. Instead, the Universe must have come from something which always existed. This is the initial state of existence known as the Source. We know nothing else of the Source's nature other than it always existed prior to giving rise to the Universe. Any additional characterization is purely speculative. Specifically, there is no evidence for any reasoning behind the Source giving rise to the Universe. There is also no evidence the Source continued to exist after this event or that it has ever interacted with the Universe since.
​
Our mission is to free humanity from the oppression of false religions which seek to control others through false claims. We seek to promote personal freedom and bodily autonomy in all aspects of society for humans of all ages, races, genders, ethnicities and sexual orientation. We also encourage the use of logic and scientific inquiry as the basis of decision making and public policy. The personal religious beliefs of one person should never be used to limit the personal freedoms of another. While we encourage the rejection of false religions in their entirety, our primary aim is to reduce and eliminate the influence of religion in the public domain.
