Freethought Quotes

“I am convinced of the need to create more spaces for exvies and exiles from other forms of religious fundamentalism (and yes, the vast majority of white American evangelical Protestants do qualify as fundamentalist, whether they accept the label or not). Reclaiming and sharing our ex-evangelical stories serves both to foster healing for exvies and to raise awareness among the broader American public of the threat to democracy and human rights posed by theocratic ideology, and of the real human harm caused by evangelical ideology and practice.”
by Chrissy Stroop, co-editor of Empty the Pews: Stories of Leaving the Church

“If you ever meet anyone who tells you his or her religion can offer all the answers, run for the hills. Or at least hide your wallet.”
by Greg M. Epstein
Good without God: What a Billion Nonreligious People Do Believe
“Positive, action-oriented humanism should be the end goal for humanists regardless of our positions relative to theism. This positive, thoughtful humanism can analyze modern-day problems ranging from climate change to the injustices inflicted on incarcerated individuals by the prison system, with the conclusion that actions must be taken to draw attention to and combat these problems. This sort of humanism both requires and encourages actions taken in defense of ourselves and each other, as well as in the protection of society in general.”
