Freethought Quotes

  • “Leaving your religion is much like deciding to change your primary language:
    You need a really good reason to do it.
    Friends and family may wonder what's wrong with you.
    It's not something you do overnight.
    It's crucial to find others who speak the new language.”
    by Tim Sledge
    Goodbye Jesus: An Evangelical Preacher's Journey Beyond Faith
  • “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
  • “I am an atheist, out and out. It took me a long time to say it. I've been an atheist for years and years, but somehow I felt it was intellectually unrespectable to say one was an atheist, because it assumed knowledge that one didn't have. Somehow, it was better to say one was a humanist or an agnostic. I finally decided that I'm a creature of emotion as well as of reason. Emotionally, I am an atheist. I don't have the evidence to prove that God doesn't exist, but I so strongly suspect he doesn't that I don't want to waste my time.”
