Freethought Quotes

  • “Man must not check reason by tradition, but contrariwise, must check tradition by reason.”
    by Leo Tolstoy
  • “It is clear, then, that if Negroes got their conception of religion from slaveholders, libertines and murderers, there may be something wrong about it, and it would not hurt to investigate it. It has been said that Negroes do not connect morals with religion. The historian would like to know what race or nation does such a thing. Certainly the whites with whom Negroes have come into contact have not done so.”
    by Carter G. Woodson, historian, author, founder of Negro History Week (now Black History Month)

  • “The greatest tragedy in mankind's entire history may be the hijacking of morality by religion.”
    by Arthur C. Clarke
