Rationalist Society of Australia Inc.
The Rationalist Society of Australia Inc. (ABN: 41853904693RR0001) is a nonprofit organization and the oldest freethought group in Australia, established in 1906. It is incorporated in Victoria under the Associations Incorporation Reform Act and is governed by an elected board.
Purpose and Beliefs
The RSA advocates for the use of reason and evidence in all significant beliefs and actions. Its members believe that the natural world is the only world there is, and answers to human existence's key questions can be found within it. The society supports human dignity, social and political cooperation, and the advancement of human well-being through science and evidence-based reasoning. Morality is viewed as a product of human evolution, not dictated by external agencies or documents, and as such, it evolves with societal advancements[1].
Activities and Advocacy
The RSA has been actively promoting rationalism and secularism in Australian society since its inception. It has played a significant role in advocating for genuine secularism in government, education, and society. The society has supported initiatives such as funding the first Secularism Australia[4].
Governance
The RSA is managed by a board that is elected annually at the Annual General Meeting (AGM). As of the most recent information, the leadership includes Dr. Meredith Doig OAM FAICD as President and Secretary, and Professor Luke Beck as Vice President[3].
History
The RSA established a rationalist library in 1909, growing its collection through donations[2]. Historically, the society has been influential in Australian freethought activity, aligning with international movements like the Rationalist Press Association in London[5]. Over the years, it has published magazines such as The Rationalist, The Australian Rationalist, and The Rationalist Quarterly, which is currently titled Australian Rationalist[5].
Role in Australian Society
The RSA operates as the operational arm of the rationalist movement in Australia, aligning with other secular and humanist organizations to promote reason and evidence-based decision-making[2]. Its activities contribute to ongoing discussions about irreligion, humanism, and secularism in Australia[2].
