It encourages all persons in the United States to observe this day and uplift these values for resolving social problems and promoting human welfare. The resolution asserts that the application of reason is an essential precondition for humanity's extraordinary scientific, medical, technological, and social progress. It provides a necessary framework for confronting modern crises, including cultivating the rule of law, separating church and state, strengthening democratic institutions, and addressing climate change.
