Freethought Quotes

  • “Don’t blow your one and only shot at happiness by selling your birthright and squandering your meaning and purpose on someone else’s undeserved glory. Live your own life. If you are reasonable and kind, you will discover that meaning is not handed to you from on high; it emerges naturally from your own life-driven purpose.”
    by Dan Barker, co-President of Freedom From Religion Foundation; co-Founder of The Clergy Project
    Life Driven Purpose: How an Atheist Finds Meaning
  • “It is only the savage, whether of the African bush or the American gospel tent, who pretends to know the will and intent of god exactly and completely.”
    by H.L. Mencken
  • “And man can be as big as he wants. No problem of human destiny is beyond human beings. Man’s reason and spirit have often solved the seemingly unsolvable – and we believe they can do it again.”
    by John F. Kennedy
