Freethought Quotes

  • “Black freethinkers have held a wide array of religious opinions, ranging from deism to paganism to atheism and agnosticism. What has united them is a commitment to reason, to improving life in this world, and to challenging racial inequality. Many of the most well-known thinkers and leaders in black communities throughout the United States have rejected the idea of God and instead embraced secular humanism as the best method for fighting racism, sexism, imperialism, and capitalism. While small in number when compared to black Christians, black freethinkers have been no fringe sect but rather people operating at the center of black life since the nineteenth century. It is time we see this vibrant intellectual tradition for what it is: one of the most significant in African American history.”
    by Christopher Cameron, author, professor of History at UNC-Charlotte
    Black Freethinkers: A History of African American Secularism
  • “In a pluralistic society such as ours, who is to determine what prayer shall be spoken, and by whom? Legally, constitutionally or otherwise, the state certainly has no such right.”
    by Martin Luther King, Jr.
    Letter from Birmingham Jail (1963)
  • “I don't know why people are afraid of lust. Then I can imagine that they are very afraid of me, for I have a great lust for everything. A lust for life, a lust for how the summer-heated street feels beneath my feet, a lust for the touch of another's skin on my skin...a lust for everything. I even lust after cake. Yes, I am very lusty and very scary.”
