Freethought Quotes

  • “It is clear, then, that if Negroes got their conception of religion from slaveholders, libertines and murderers, there may be something wrong about it, and it would not hurt to investigate it. It has been said that Negroes do not connect morals with religion. The historian would like to know what race or nation does such a thing. Certainly the whites with whom Negroes have come into contact have not done so.”
    by Carter G. Woodson, historian, author, founder of Negro History Week (now Black History Month)

  • “Owners of dogs will have noticed that, if you provide them with food and water and shelter and affection, they will think you are god. Whereas owners of cats are compelled to realize that, if you provide them with food and water and shelter and affection, they draw the conclusion that they are gods.”
    by Christopher Hitchens
    The Portable Atheist: Essential Readings for the Nonbeliever
  • “The dominance of the faith-based industrial complex is a Catch-22 for communities of color that lack adequate social welfare services and educational and recreational spaces under an American capitalist system that essentially outsources these services to private organizations and tax-exempt nonprofits.”
