Freethought Quotes

  • “Let's teach our children from a very young age about the story of the universe and its incredible richness and beauty. It is already so much more glorious and awesome – and even comforting – than anything offered by any scripture or god concept that I know.”
    by Carolyn Porco, planetary scientist
  • “How is it that hardly any major religion has looked at science and concluded, “This is better than we thought! The Universe is much bigger than our prophets said, grander, more subtle, more elegant?” Instead they say, “No, no, no! My god is a little god, and I want him to stay that way.” A religion, old or new, that stressed the magnificence of the Universe as revealed by modern science might be able to draw forth reserves of reverence and awe hardly tapped by the conventional faiths.”
    by Carl Sagan
    Pale Blue Dot: A Vision of the Human Future in Space
  • “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.”
