Freethought Quotes

  • “It will be generally found that those who sneer habitually at human nature and affect to despise it are among its worst and least pleasant examples.”
    by Charles Dickens
    The Life and Adventures of Nicholas Nickleby
  • “I am convinced of the need to create more spaces for exvies and exiles from other forms of religious fundamentalism (and yes, the vast majority of white American evangelical Protestants do qualify as fundamentalist, whether they accept the label or not). Reclaiming and sharing our ex-evangelical stories serves both to foster healing for exvies and to raise awareness among the broader American public of the threat to democracy and human rights posed by theocratic ideology, and of the real human harm caused by evangelical ideology and practice.”
    by Chrissy Stroop, co-editor of Empty the Pews: Stories of Leaving the Church

  • “As a black woman, I often wonder why brown and black people are so devoted to  Christianity when the Bible was used to enslave their ancestors. As an African, I am well aware  that Christianity did not exist in Africa until white people showed up on the continent with  Bibles. Our ancestors survived hundreds of years without modern religion.”
