Is there somewhere where Randi (or JREF) has posted his (for lack of a better description) "Philosophy of Life"?

I often get posts from others (particularly family) that are essentially philosophies of life based around subservience to God. I'd like to be able to send back a non-judgmental, well thought out and deep philosophy of life that says how to live our lives in a rational way that follows the principles of critical thought. This should cover things like:


Why our lives mean something without God.
Why we shouldn't worry about an afterlife.
How critical thought can lead to a fulfilling life.
How we can make the world a better place thru critical thought.


Is there such a document around?

There's a lot to agree with in this: The Affirmations of Humanism:
A Statement of Principles. (http://www.secularhumanism.org/index.php?section=main&page=affirmations)
