Freethought Quotes

  • “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.”
    by Ruth Marimo
    Women Beyond Belief: Discovering Life Without Religion
  • “In a pluralistic society such as ours, who is to determine what prayer shall be spoken, and by whom? Legally, constitutionally or otherwise, the state certainly has no such right.”
    by Martin Luther King, Jr.
    Letter from Birmingham Jail (1963)
  • “I cannot believe in a god who wants to be praised all the time.”
    by Friedrich Nietzsche
