Etta Semple Quotes
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.

All their efforts have been the other way, trying to tear down laws already made which control by "Thou shalt" and "thou shalt not."
