Freethought Quotes

  • “The invisible and the non-existent look very much alike.”
    by Delos McKown
  • “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.”
    by Polly Toynbee

  • “Positive, action-oriented humanism should be the end goal for humanists regardless of our positions relative to theism. This positive, thoughtful humanism can analyze modern-day problems ranging from climate change to the injustices inflicted on incarcerated individuals by the prison system, with the conclusion that actions must be taken to draw attention to and combat these problems. This sort of humanism both requires and encourages actions taken in defense of ourselves and each other, as well as in the protection of society in general.”
