Freethought Quotes

  • “Ignorance is preferable to error, and he is less remote from the truth who believes nothing than he who believes what is wrong.”
    by Thomas Jefferson
    Notes on Virginia, 1782
  • “The most formidable weapon against errors of any kind is reason.”
    by Thomas Paine
  • “I do understand what love is, and that is one of the reasons I can never again be a Christian. Love is not self denial. Love is not blood and suffering. Love is not murdering your son to appease your own vanity. Love is not hatred or wrath, consigning billions of people to eternal torture because they have offended your ego or disobeyed your rules. Love is not obedience, conformity, or submission. It is a counterfeit love that is contingent upon authority, punishment, or reward. True love is respect and admiration, compassion and kindness, freely given by a healthy, unafraid human being.”
    by Dan Barker, co-President of Freedom From Religion Foundation; co-Founder of The Clergy Project
