- the investigation of reality (rejection of imitating others or the past)

- the unity of humanity

- If religion is made the cause of enmity ... the absence of religion is better than its existence

- religion and learning are twins that cannot be separated...Any religion that is bereft of learning is to be considered as blind imitation.

- The reality of the divine religions is one (against religious bigotry)

- equality between individuals

- A supreme tribunal --- any differences and disputes arising among the governments and peoples should be settled in that tribunal, so that they do not lead to war.
