• Aretéanism (are-uh-tay-un-ism) is a new, humanist religion. Areté is an ancient Greek word for the virtue of excellence in all things. It's about being the best humans we can be, both individually and as entire peoples. • Rather than worshipping unseen beings or mystical energy fields, we believe that we should instead focus on improving the human experience. That's why we've chosen to Be Excellent to Each Other, and Party On!
