The Constructive Secular Forum (CSF) is

1. A virtual Forum, attempting to primarily provide a community, information, analysis and rational discussion opportunities for secularists
2. Secular, in the sense that it promotes critical thinking, an openly secular lifestyle, and normalizing secularism, while challenging invalid religious claims and its disproportionate influence
3. Constructive, as it values diversity and civil discourse at all times. There is no point in personal insults, name-calling and generally being obnoxious towards anybody.
