Freethought Quotes

  • “At an 1870 Anti-Slavery Society convention, Frederick Douglass proclaimed, 'I bow to no priests either of faith or of unfaith. I claim as against all sorts of people, simply perfect freedom of thought.' Douglass' comments were in response to black preachers' insistence he 'thank' God for Emancipation. His failure to be appropriately devout elicited a firestorm. After his speech, a group of prominent black preachers passed a Resolution censuring him.... This rebuke was perhaps one of the first documented instances of the black 'authenticity police' trying to silence an eminent thinker. ”

    Moral Combat: Black Atheists Gender Politics and the Values Wars
  • “To be an African woman who walks away from believing is almost unheard of, and that is  precisely why I think it is so necessary to talk about it. I walked away in order to open a world  for my children that no one else in my family history had ever experienced before, and I couldn’t be more proud. I had introduced my children to church when they were younger, and I have spent the last two years explaining my reasons for walking away from religion, including my wish for them to grow up open-minded and nonjudgmental. I have explained how much I want them to grow up knowing that only they are responsible for their own actions, that they have the power to decide for themselves what they want out of life, that their fate is not up to
    some god.”

    Women Beyond Belief: Discovering Life Without Religion
  • “The freedom of religion cannot exist without a government that is free from religion (nor can the freedom of religion exist without the freedom to choose no religion at all). True religious freedom depends on a secular government.”
