Freethought Quotes

  • “Black freethinkers have held a wide array of religious opinions, ranging from deism to paganism to atheism and agnosticism. What has united them is a commitment to reason, to improving life in this world, and to challenging racial inequality. Many of the most well-known thinkers and leaders in black communities throughout the United States have rejected the idea of God and instead embraced secular humanism as the best method for fighting racism, sexism, imperialism, and capitalism. While small in number when compared to black Christians, black freethinkers have been no fringe sect but rather people operating at the center of black life since the nineteenth century. It is time we see this vibrant intellectual tradition for what it is: one of the most significant in African American history.”

  • “Owners of dogs will have noticed that, if you provide them with food and water and shelter and affection, they will think you are god. Whereas owners of cats are compelled to realize that, if you provide them with food and water and shelter and affection, they draw the conclusion that they are gods.”

  • “Atheists’ anger doesn’t prove that we’re selfish, or joyless, or miserable. It shows that we have compassion, and a sense of justice. We’re angry because we see terrible harm all around us, and we feel desperately motivated to stop it.”
