Freethought Quotes

  • “Atheism offers us the comfort of knowing that we can shape our own lives, and don’t have to rest our fate in the hands of a god whose ways can at best be described as “mysterious.” It offers the comfort of not having to wonder what we did wrong, or why we’re being punished or tested, every time something bad happens. It offers the comfort of experiencing the world as shaped by a stable and potentially comprehensible set of physical laws, rather than by the capricious whim of a creator who’s theoretically loving but in practice is moody, short-tempered, and wildly unpredictable.”
    by Greta Christina
    Comforting Thoughts About Death That Have Nothing to Do with God
  • “Human beings are worthy of the highest respect, but not all opinions and beliefs are worthy of respect and tolerance. There are some who believe in fascism, white supremacy, the inferiority of women. Must they be respected?”
    by Maryam Namazie, British-Iranian secularist, human rights activist, writer, Council of Ex-Muslims of Britain
  • “We all found our truest selves after leaving Christianity. My story was not unique. Evangelical Christianity has hijacked our individual narratives and arrested our development. It had diminished the very essence of our humanity. Just like me, each one of my friends had gotten free once they kicked faith to the curb. Although we were always told that Jesus would set us free, in reality, the concept of serving a ‘Lord’ had kept us bound.”
    by Dave Warnock, ex-Evangelical pastor, now atheist, dying out loud of ALS, public speaker, author
