‘The church is a terrible engine of oppression, especially as concerns women.’–Elizabeth Cady Stanton
‘I have endeavored to dissipate these religious superstitions from
the minds of women, and base their faith on science and reason, where I
found for myself at last that peace and comfort I could never find in
the Bible and the church…The less they believe, the better for their own
happiness and development…
For fifty years the women of this nation have tried to dam up this
deadly stream that poisons all their lives, but thus far they have
lacked the insight or courage to follow it back to its source and there
strike the blow at the fountain of all tyranny, religious superstition,
priestly power, and the cannon law.’ –Elizabeth Cady Stanton
”Less power to religion, the greater power to knowledge.” - –Hypatia Bradlaugh Bonner
”A believer is not a thinker and a thinker is not a believer .”–Marian Noel Sherman
”There was a time when religion ruled the world. It is known as the Dark Ages.”-Ruth Hurmence Green
”Christianity is an insult to the wisdom of the nineteenth century.
To place before its progress and development a leader, ruler, king,
saviour, god, whose knowledge was less than a modern five year old
school girl, is an outrage upon humanity.”- –Ella E. Gibson
