Concept
Union des athées et des agnostiques rationalistes
Résumé
The Union of Rationalist Atheists and Agnostics (Unione degli Atei e degli Agnostici Razionalisti, UAAR) is the only nationwide association of atheists and agnostics in Italy. It is independent from political parties or lobbies and numbers around 3,000 members.
Its logo references the Happy Human symbol, in common with other humanist organisations.
UAAR was founded in 1986 to promote the diffusion of atheist and agnostic ideas, campaign for a thoroughly secular state, and struggle against any privilege granted to the Roman Catholic religion and against any discrimination of nonbelievers.
Between December 1996 and July 2019, UAAR regularly published a bi-monthly magazine, L'Ateo (The Atheist). In January 2020 it started publishing a new bi-monthly magazine, Nessun Dogma.
Besides seeking contacts with government representatives, UAAR is prepared to initiate legal actions to obtain the full acknowledgement for atheism and atheists' rights. They have, for instance, obtained recognition of the right for those baptised as infants to be considered no longer Catholic if they wish.
The UAAR has held Debaptism Day and Darwin Day annually.
The UAAR has pushed for the removal of crucifixes in the classrooms of state-run schools, a position which was upheld by the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg in November 2009. In 2014 and 2015 The UAAR condemned rulings against teachers who removed crucifixes.
In 2009 the association funded research to see if the Shroud of Turin could be reproduced.
In 2010 the association campaigned for stricter regulation of when church bells in Pisa were allowed to ring.
The UAAR has been campaigning against Italy's blasphemy laws since at least 2017. In 2019 the UAAR condemned a ruling which charged an Italian photographer with blasphemy for comparing the Catholic Church to a masochist club during a radio interview.
UAAR is a member of the Humanists International (HI) and European Humanist Federation (EHF), and collaborates with other humanist organisations on international issues.
