Freethought Quotes

  • “Question with boldness even the existence of a god; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason, than that of blind-folded fear.”
    by Thomas Jefferson
  • “Religion's greatest "sin" lies in displacing human endeavor, thought, time, resources and efforts from this world, our only world, in order to exalt a highly unlikely, unknowable, unseeable, unprovable and unbelievable pretend afterworld. The only afterlife that ought to concern us is leaving our descendants (along with the other animals and life we share our planet with) a secure and pleasant future.”
    by Annie Laurie Gaylor
  • “Religion is based . . . mainly on fear . . . fear of the mysterious, fear
    of defeat, fear of death. Fear is the parent of cruelty, and therefore it
    is no wonder if cruelty and religion have gone hand in hand. . . . My own
    view on religion is that of Lucretius. I regard it as a disease born of
    fear and as a source of untold misery to the human race.”
    by H.L. Mencken
