Freethought Quotes

  • “Philosophers have long conceded, however, that every man has two educators: ‘that which is given to him, and the other that which he gives himself. Of the two kinds the latter is by far the more desirable. Indeed all that is most worthy in man he must work out and conquer for himself. It is that which constitutes our real and best nourishment. What we are merely taught seldom nourishes the mind like that which we teach ourselves.”
    by Carter G. Woodson, historian, author, founder of Negro History Week (now Black History Month)
    The Mis-Education of the Negro (1933)
  • “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
  • “Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, & the soul of soulless conditions. It is the opium of the people.”
    by Karl Marx
    A Contribution to the Critique of Hegel’s Philosophy of Right
