Freethought Quotes

  • “What happens entirely in my head, including my thoughts and beliefs, is nobody’s business but my own. But when I put thoughts or beliefs into action, I have to consider the impact on others, especially those whose thoughts and beliefs differ from my own.”
    by Dale McGowan
    In Faith and In Doubt: How Religious Believers and Nonbelievers Can Create Strong Marriages and Loving Families
  • “We must respect the other fellow's religion, but only in the sense and to the extent that we respect his theory that his wife is beautiful and his children smart.”
    by H.L. Mencken
  • “I am told of a human sacrifice that took place two thousand years ago, without my wishing it and in circumstances so ghastly that, had I been present and in possession of any influence, I would have been duty-bound to try and stop it. In consequence of this murder, my own manifold sins are forgiven me, and I may hope to enjoy everlasting life…. In order to gain the benefit of this wondrous offer, I have to accept that I am responsible for the flogging and mocking and crucifixion, in which I had no say and no part…. Furthermore, I am required to believe that the agony was necessary in order to compensate for an earlier crime in which I also had no part, the sin of Adam.”
    by Christopher Hitchens
