1.  AMER will defend the right of every American to practice his
or her own religion, insofar as that religion's practices do not
directly harm anyone.  In particular, AMER will actively campaign
for tolerance for Magical and Earth-centered religions.

2.  AMER will work to promote a positive image for Magical and
Earth-centered religions, and to counter negative propaganda
about such groups.

3.  AMER will promote cooperation among the various Magical and
Earth-centered religious groups.

4.  AMER will serve as a source of accurate information on
Magical and Earth-centered religious and practices.



AMER defines these terms as follows:

Magical Religion:  any religious belief or practice which
includes as an aspect of its faith or an element in its ritual,
the practice of what *it* calls magic or the use of psychic
powers.

Earth-centered Religion: any religious belief or practice which
holds as a tenet a reverence for the Earth.
