Freethought Quotes

  • “Black freethinkers have held a wide array of religious opinions, ranging from deism to paganism to atheism and agnosticism. What has united them is a commitment to reason, to improving life in this world, and to challenging racial inequality. Many of the most well-known thinkers and leaders in black communities throughout the United States have rejected the idea of God and instead embraced secular humanism as the best method for fighting racism, sexism, imperialism, and capitalism. While small in number when compared to black Christians, black freethinkers have been no fringe sect but rather people operating at the center of black life since the nineteenth century. It is time we see this vibrant intellectual tradition for what it is: one of the most significant in African American history.”
    by Christopher Cameron, author, professor of History at UNC-Charlotte

  • “No philosophy, no religion, has ever brought so glad a message to the world as this good news of Atheism.”
    by Annie Wood Besant
  • “It ain't the parts of the Bible that I can't understand that bother me, it is the parts that I do understand.”
    by Mark Twain
