Freethought Quotes

“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
“Everyone is born with an inbuilt moral purpose. It springs from mankind's evolution as a social being, acting collaboratively, with altruism and good of the community hard-wired. It needs no orders from elsewhere to tell people to be good – they know it already as a part of the human condition. Conflicting selfish impulses tug in the other direction, a life-long tussle that the religious would call 'God and Satan'. But placing moral laws and rules in the hands of a book written by some external creator, judge, father, law-maker, infantilises us and makes us less responsible for creating a society around us that benefits everyone. Goodness is a social value, the effect you have on all around you and the wider society, not a secret or personal matter for the sinner to be privately weighed on the scales by a god after death. Humanism is not a mere absence of religion but a positive value that puts people and their societies at the heart of life.”

“It is said that men may not be the dreams of the Gods, but rather that the Gods are the dreams of men.”
