Freethought Quotes

  • “Ex-Muslims stand at the intersection of half a hundred different narratives. We are villainized by our former religious community and misunderstood by many more. Having worked directly with apostates for years, the mission of portraying their thoughts and experiences honestly is a personal one to us.”
    by Muhammad Syed, Co-Founder and President of Ex-Muslims of North America
    https://exmuslims.org/press-release/exmna-announces-apostate-report-findings-from-the-first-ever-survey-of-north-american-ex-muslims
  • “As a black woman, I often wonder why brown and black people are so devoted to  Christianity when the Bible was used to enslave their ancestors. As an African, I am well aware  that Christianity did not exist in Africa until white people showed up on the continent with  Bibles. Our ancestors survived hundreds of years without modern religion.”

    Women Beyond Belief: Discovering Life Without Religion
  • “The only position that leaves me with no cognitive dissonance is atheism. It is not a creed. Death is certain, replacing both the siren-song of Paradise and the dread of Hell. Life on this earth, with all its mystery and beauty and pain, is then to be lived far more intensely: we stumble and get up, we are sad, confident, insecure, feel loneliness and joy and love. There is nothing more; but I want nothing more.”
