Happy Hanukkah!

For all those celebrating Hanukkah, we hope your days and nights are filled with warmth, light, and time spent with friends and family.

The Society for Humanistic Judaism has information about Hanukkah and offers Humanistic Ideals for Hanukkah Candle Lighting and a contemporary reading of the symbolism behind each candle, The Eight Lights of Hanukkah.

Freethought Quotes

  • “Belief in heaven is very difficult without a greedy desire for it. All scams need a hook.”
    by Anonymous
  • “In a dozen Muslim-majority countries, ex-Muslims are condemned to the death penalty. In the West, our existence is not a crime, but we still face isolation, threats, and abuse by our own families and former faith community. Unsurprisingly, many former Muslims choose to hide their lack of belief. But the first step to gain acceptance is coming out openly, without shame or fear.”
    by Muhammad Syed, Co-Founder and President of Ex-Muslims of North America

  • “We have fools in all sects, and impostors in most; why should I believe mysteries no one can understand, because written by men who chose to mistake madness for inspiration and style themselves Evangelicals?”
