Freethought Quotes

  • “Secularism teaches us to be good here and now. I know nothing better than goodness.
    Secularism teaches us to be just here and now. It is impossible to be juster than just...
    Secularism has no castles in Spain. It has no glorified fog. It depends on realities, upon demonstrations; and its end and aim is to make this world better every day - to do away with poverty and crime, and to cover the world with happy and contented homes.”
    by Robert Green Ingersoll
    Works, Volume 8
  • “It is clear, then, that if Negroes got their conception of religion from slaveholders, libertines and murderers, there may be something wrong about it, and it would not hurt to investigate it. It has been said that Negroes do not connect morals with religion. The historian would like to know what race or nation does such a thing. Certainly the whites with whom Negroes have come into contact have not done so.”
    by Carter G. Woodson, historian, author, founder of Negro History Week (now Black History Month)

  • “In the end anti-black, anti-female, and all forms of discrimination are equivalent to the same thing: anti-humanism.”
