- Secular Faith is postsecular in that it defines faith, for both believers and secularists, as faith in our collective ability to rationally understand and express the allure of religious beliefs. As a paradox, Secular Faith forces us to jump back and forth over the political wall of separation.
- Secular Faith is not proven by dogmatically defending reason or religion as exclusive forms of knowledge, but rather insists upon common human interests in the face of frustration, difference and even violence.
- Secular Faith is committed to traditional liberal values of freedom and equality, but with skepticism replaced by faith in a universal moral truth (monotruism, not monotheism).
- Secular Faith seeks to understand diversity in order to unify; it does not celebrate diversity as the highest political ideal because the highest human need is to belong.
- Secular Faith sees moral truth as a trinity, which like a three-legged stool needs to be carefully balanced. Personal experience is the third form of knowledge that provides a subjective balance, when the "objective" universal truth claims of reason and religion conflict.
- Secular Faith assigns the task of reconciling reason and religion to individuals as a complete commitment to democracy, human rights and our creator's love for each unique human being.
- Secular Faith is committed to harmonizing mind, body, and soul, individually and universally.
- Secular Faith defends freedom of conscience as the means of allowing every citizen the dignity and privacy to discover and define their own subjective truth and nature. However, Secular Faith supports Romantic Secularism's wall of separation as the best means of limiting universal truth claims regarding human nature until significant political majorities are consistent with rational systems of knowledge (science and law).
