Freethought Quotes

  • “How we define “better” is critical to understanding the philosophy of Humanism. Humanists judge outcomes using a compassion-based morality and we are totally unapologetic about that. If it helps humans, it is a good outcome. If it hurts, it is bad. Absent from our thinking and reasoning is anything that could be considered supernatural or religious.”
    by Jennifer Hancock
    Jen Hancock's Handy Humanism Handbook
  • “My parents taught me that the provable, tangible, verifiable things were sacred, that sometimes the most astonishing ideas are clearly profound, but when they get labeled as "facts", we lose sight of their beauty. It doesn't have to be this way. Science is the source of so much insight worthy of ecstatic celebration.”
    by Sasha Sagan
    For Small Creatures Such as We: Rituals for Finding Meaning in Our Unlikely World
  • “The scientist yearns to find and eventually know the truth; the religious man wants the truth to fit his preconceived mold. So, as a result, the scientist alters his perception to conform to the facts; The religious man tries to change the facts to conform to his beliefs.”
