Freethought Quotes

  • “We do want our fellow citizens to respect our deeply held conviction that the absence of an afterlife lends a greater, not a lesser, moral importance to our actions on earth.”
    by Susan Jacoby
  • “It is clear, then, that if Negroes got their conception of religion from slaveholders, libertines and murderers, there may be something wrong about it, and it would not hurt to investigate it. It has been said that Negroes do not connect morals with religion. The historian would like to know what race or nation does such a thing. Certainly the whites with whom Negroes have come into contact have not done so.”
    by Carter G. Woodson, historian, author, founder of Negro History Week (now Black History Month)

  • “In the absence of fear there is little faith.”
