Freethought Quotes

  • “How we define “better” is critical to understanding the philosophy of Humanism. Humanists judge outcomes using a compassion-based morality and we are totally unapologetic about that. If it helps humans, it is a good outcome. If it hurts, it is bad. Absent from our thinking and reasoning is anything that could be considered supernatural or religious.”
    by Jennifer Hancock
    Jen Hancock's Handy Humanism Handbook
  • “Where there is no critical thinking, there is no progress. If the children are our future, then critical thinking must be their guide.”
    by Dale McGowan
    Parenting Beyond Belief: On Raising Ethical, Caring Kids without Religion
  • “There is no humanist creed, no set of beliefs to which every humanist has to subscribe. Humanism is not a dogma or a sect...as human beings we can find from our own resources the shared moral values which we need in order to live together, and the means to create meaningful and fulfilling lives for ourselves.”
