Freethought Quotes

  • “Humanism is a philosophy that is primarily focused on how we as individuals can be good human beings. We seek to be ethical, moral and compassionate people in all that we do. However, we also understand that good moral reasoning requires us to think clearly and rationally about the problems we face. So Humanists are as much concerned with how we think, as we are concerned with what we think about. To that end we practice the related skills of freethought, critical thinking and logic.”

    Jen Hancock's Handy Humanism Handbook
  • “Positive, action-oriented humanism should be the end goal for humanists regardless of our positions relative to theism. This positive, thoughtful humanism can analyze modern-day problems ranging from climate change to the injustices inflicted on incarcerated individuals by the prison system, with the conclusion that actions must be taken to draw attention to and combat these problems. This sort of humanism both requires and encourages actions taken in defense of ourselves and each other, as well as in the protection of society in general.”
