My principal objections to orthodox religion are two - slavery here and hell hereafter

Religion can never reform mankind because religion is slavery.

The Old Testament describes the hell of the past, and the New the hell of the future

There is no slavery but ignorance.

I will not attack your doctrines nor your creeds if they accord liberty to me. If they hold thought to be dangerous - if they aver that doubt is a crime, then I attack them one and all, because they enslave the minds of men.

I attack the monsters, the phantoms of imagination that have ruled the world. I attack slavery. I ask for room -- room for the human mind.

Freedom believes in education - the salvation of slavery is ignorance.
