Is B-Attitudes a Religious Organisation?

B-Attitudes is an independent organisation which respects each individual. The founding directors believe in showing their faith by example and actions, rather that forcing opinions. Each founding director is committed to following the example of Jesus Christ who not only gave words of hope and healing, but also walked alongside those in need (whether they believed in him or not), accepting them just as they were with unconditional positive regard, but holding them accountable for the way they lived their lives.
