Freethought Quotes

  • “Liberty's chief foe is theology.”
    by Charles Bradlaugh
  • “Don’t blow your one and only shot at happiness by selling your birthright and squandering your meaning and purpose on someone else’s undeserved glory. Live your own life. If you are reasonable and kind, you will discover that meaning is not handed to you from on high; it emerges naturally from your own life-driven purpose.”
    by Dan Barker, co-President of Freedom From Religion Foundation; co-Founder of The Clergy Project
    Life Driven Purpose: How an Atheist Finds Meaning
  • “To the States, or any one of them, or any city of the States, Resist much, obey little;
    Once unquestioning obedience, once fully enslaved;
    Once fully enslaved, no nation, state, city, of this earth, ever afterward resumes its liberty.”
    by Walt Whitman
