Freethought Quotes

  • “Where is the soul? ... I refuse to believe anything of that kind without proof. The idea that, as soon as a man's breath leaves his body, the soul flops out like a chicken's head and flies off into space to find a lodgement where there are harps and halos. Too much for me.”
    by Robert Ingersoll
  • “Superstition has caused so much confusion, darkness, and deception. Dogma has been used to tyrannize over the lives of the people. So, this is the time for change and of some transformation based on reason, science, critical thinking, and humanity. People are yearning for freedom and emancipation. Humanism is critical in delivering that change and in the realization of social renewal.”
    by Leo Igwe, Founder, Nigerian Humanist Movement

  • “Human beings are worthy of the highest respect, but not all opinions and beliefs are worthy of respect and tolerance. There are some who believe in fascism, white supremacy, the inferiority of women. Must they be respected?”
    by Maryam Namazie, British-Iranian secularist, human rights activist, writer, Council of Ex-Muslims of Britain
