Freethought Quotes

  • “For thousands of years, humans believed that authority came from the gods. Then, during the modern era, humanism gradually shifted authority from deities to people.”
    by Yuval Noah Harari
  • “The more I study religions, the more I am convinced that man never worshipped anything but himself.”
    by Richard Burton
  • “Sincere seekers are often painfully aware of holes in their current philosophies – and every worldview that pretends to answer every important question does indeed have holes somewhere because it's overreaching. So a worldview that seems to fill the irritating holes in a previously held philosophy can be very appealing, especially if it claims not to be subject to human limitations.”
    by Mary Johnson, Humanist celebrant, former Missionaries of Charity nun, author of An Unquenchable Thirst: A Memoir
