Evolutionary theologian Michael Dowd has developed a mantra which he refers to as  “Six Agreements” which he asserts millions of people around the world, both secular and religious, can agree with:

1. Reality is our god.

2. Evidence is our scripture.

3. Big history is our creation story.

4. Ecology is our theology.

5. Integrity is our salvation.

6. Ensuring a just and healthy future is our mission.
