Freethought Quotes

“Humanism is a philosophy of life, a way of moving through the world in connection with others that rejects supernatural notions and positions humans as fully accountable for the arrangement of our individual and collective life—having only the best of our thinking and doing. We, as my grandmother would say, move through the world knowing our footsteps matter.”
by Dr. Anthony B. Pinn, 2016 Reason Rally

“The scientist yearns to find and eventually know the truth; the religious man wants the truth to fit his preconceived mold. So, as a result, the scientist alters his perception to conform to the facts; The religious man tries to change the facts to conform to his beliefs.”
by Anonymous
“That so many manage to accommodate belief systems encompassing both the natural and the supernatural is a testament not to the compatibility of science and religion but to the flexibility, in both the physical and metaphysical senses, of the human brain.”
