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.”

  • “I can think of few systems more dysfunctional than the Roman Catholic Church – Iran, Uganda, the followers of Warren Jeffs. It's hard to reform a dysfunctional system, especially one that's been around for two thousand years, reaches into nearly every country in the world, and claims divine infallibility.”
    by Mary Johnson, Humanist celebrant, former Missionaries of Charity nun, author of An Unquenchable Thirst: A Memoir

  • “The dominance of the faith-based industrial complex is a Catch-22 for communities of color that lack adequate social welfare services and educational and recreational spaces under an American capitalist system that essentially outsources these services to private organizations and tax-exempt nonprofits.”
