Freethought Quotes

“Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced.”
by James Baldwin
“As my ancestors are free from slavery, I am free from the slavery of religion.

I'm an atheist, and Christianity appears to me to be the most absurd imposture of all the religions, and I'm puzzled that so many people can't see through a religion that encourages irresponsibility and bigotry.

If we had put the energy on earth and on people that we put on mythology and on Jesus Christ, we wouldn't have any hunger or homelessness.

They say the streets are going to be beautiful in Heaven. Well, I'm trying to make the streets beautiful here . . . . When it's clean and beautiful, I think America is heaven. And some people are hell.

[a collection of quotes from different sources]”

“The Catholic Church has a two-thousand year history of liberation and oppression, education and superstition, inspiration and exclusion. Today, in areas of the world where the rights of women and children and the poor are routinely denied, or where medical and educational facilities are woefully inadequate, the Catholic Church can provide a step up – when it's not acting as a tool of repression. It's clear to me that much of the Western world has outgrown the Church, though Church members often remain fiercely attached to a group they consider family. I believe the Catholic Church is becoming less influential, and I think that's a good thing.”
by Mary Johnson, Humanist celebrant, former Missionaries of Charity nun, author of An Unquenchable Thirst: A Memoir
