Freethought Quotes

  • “Isn't it enough to see that a garden is beautiful without having to believe that there are fairies at the bottom of it too?”
    by Douglas Adams
    The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
  • “As my ancestors are free from slavery, I am free from the slavery of religion.

    I'm an atheist, and Christianity appears to me to be the most absurd imposture of all the religions, and I'm puzzled that so many people can't see through a religion that encourages irresponsibility and bigotry.

    If we had put the energy on earth and on people that we put on mythology and on Jesus Christ, we wouldn't have any hunger or homelessness.

    They say the streets are going to be beautiful in Heaven. Well, I'm trying to make the streets beautiful here . . . . When it's clean and beautiful, I think America is heaven. And some people are hell.

    [a collection of quotes from different sources]”

  • “How I try to live
    Here's what I tell myself every day: Life is a wonderful thing. Open yourself to the marvels of the world that surrounds you. Engage with life. Don't be afraid of making mistakes and always allow yourself to change your mind when new evidence presents itself. Open your heart to give and to receive. Become a person whose life has meaning. Love others. Love yourself. Live gratefully.”
    by Mary Johnson, Humanist celebrant, former Missionaries of Charity nun, author of An Unquenchable Thirst: A Memoir
