• … La FAML est, aux yeux de beaucoup, devenue le mouvement laïque par excellence, celui qui existe concrètement sur le terrain, qui vise une audience large, qui fait vivre la laïcité au quotidien, qui entretient des rapports avec les autorités communales, avec les groupes de base.

• Regroupant plus d’une centaine d’associations francophones, elle a choisi le mode de fonctionnement de la fédération. Fédérer veut dire respecter dans sa diversité, mais aussi rassembler, coordonner.
• Etre laïque, c’est se réjouir des «ifférences (compatibles avec la dignité humaine – le fasciste et le totalitaire sont aussi différents), des sensibilités diverses, enrichissantes pour les uns et les autres, mais ce n’est pas s’en tenir là … (texte entier Valeurs de la FAML /Le pluralisme dans l’engagement).
