The Sikh Religion
A progressive religion well ahead of its time when it was founded over 500 years ago, the Sikh religion today has a following of over 20 million people worldwide and is ranked as the worlds 5th largest religion. Sikhism preaches a message of devotion and remembrance of God at all times, truthful living, equality of mankind and denounces superstitions and blind rituals. Sikhism is open to all through the teachings of its 10 Gurus enshrined in the Sikh Holy Book and Living Guru, Sri Guru Granth Sahib.

The Sikh Society of ATC
Flowing from the above teachings, the Sikh Society of ATC (previously known as the Sikh Society of Kemayan ATC) has been in existence for many years and was initiated by students who felt that they needed to be active to promote unity amongst themselves and others who wanted to take part in a positive and friendly community spirit in tuned with the Sikh teachings. If comprises of all Sikh students studying in ATC. The Sikh Society has as its main objectives inter alia, the organiszing of two annual Thanksgiving Prayers that are held before and after each examination term(s) and the assisting various charitable homes and organizations. To date the Sikh Society of ATC have without fail organised its annual Thanksgiving Prayers every year. The gathering of the Sikh Society in attending to this prayers enables spiritual cleansing and acts as a platform whereby the Sikhs in ATC get to interact with one another on a religious note.

The Sikh Society of ATC often invites other Sikh oriented groups such as the Sikh Naujawan Sabha Malaysia (SNSM) and the NIKETAN group at religious get togethers to give and insight on the Sikh way of life, Sikh Human Rights and other areas related to religious teachings, as well as many others.
