Freethought Quotes

“Everyone is born with an inbuilt moral purpose. It springs from mankind's evolution as a social being, acting collaboratively, with altruism and good of the community hard-wired. It needs no orders from elsewhere to tell people to be good – they know it already as a part of the human condition. Conflicting selfish impulses tug in the other direction, a life-long tussle that the religious would call 'God and Satan'. But placing moral laws and rules in the hands of a book written by some external creator, judge, father, law-maker, infantilises us and makes us less responsible for creating a society around us that benefits everyone. Goodness is a social value, the effect you have on all around you and the wider society, not a secret or personal matter for the sinner to be privately weighed on the scales by a god after death. Humanism is not a mere absence of religion but a positive value that puts people and their societies at the heart of life.”

“In spite of some alarmists, it is hardly likely that our species will completely exterminate itself. And so long as man continues to exist, we may be pretty sure that, whatever he may suffer for a time, and whatever brightness may be eclipsed, he will emerge sooner or later, perhaps strengthened and reinvigorated by a period of mental sleep. The universe is vast and men are but tiny specks on an insignificant planet. But the more we realize our minuteness and our impotence in the face of cosmic forces, the more astonishing becomes what human beings have achieved.”
by Bertrand Russell
If We are to Survive this Dark Time, The New York Times Magazine (3 September 1950)
“There are none more ignorant and useless than those that seek answers on their knees with their eyes closed.”
