Freethought Quotes

  • “If your god doesn’t like birth control, don’t take it. If your god thinks marrying a person of the same sex is sinful, don’t marry someone of the same sex. If your religion demands private religious education for your children, you and your church pay for it. Religious freedom does not mean burdening others with your religion; it means freely burdening yourself.”
    by Andrew L. Seidel
    American Crusade: How the Supreme Court Is Weaponizing Religious Freedom
  • “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
  • “One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.”
