• Si los que se oponen al Librepensamiento no se esforzaran por obligar a todos a pensar como ellos, a aceptar a Cristo por la fe, a creer que la biblia es infalible, a guardar el domingo como día sagrado, y a trabajar por una recompensa futura, entonces nuestra lucha terminaría al instante. Libertad de Conciencia es todo lo que pedimos - no control de ninguna clase, credo o secta.

• If I deny the existence of a God - if I deny the idea of a gold paved city with pearly walls and jasper gates somewhere out of knowledge and space and prefer to die and to trust the unfaltering laws of nature - if, in plain words I don't want to go to heaven, whose business is it but my own?

• It has been claimed by many that Freethought does away with churches, creeds, Christs and even a God. So it does to a certain extent, but not as feared by Christians. Freethought has never said pull down your churches, burn up your creeds, crucify your savior or reject your god. No one ever knew a Freethinker to try to make laws to control people. All their efforts have been the other way, trying to tear down laws already made which control by "Thou shalt" and "thou shalt not."
