  Fighting, Humanity, Atheism

  Emma Goldman (1915). “Mother Earth Bulletin”

• The philosophy of Atheism represents a concept of life without any metaphysical Beyond or Divine Regulator. It is the concept of an actual, real world with its liberating, expanding and beautifying possibilities, as against an unreal world, which, with its spirits, oracles, and mean contentment has kept humanity in helpless degradation.

  Emma Goldman (1915). “Mother Earth Bulletin”

  Soul, Humanity, Atheism

  Emma Goldman (1913). “Victims of Morality, and The Failure of Christianity: Two Lectures”

• The worker who knows the cause of his misery, who understands the make-up of our iniquitous social and industrial system can do more for himself and his kind than Christ and the followers of Christ have ever done for humanity; certainly more than meek patience, ignorance, and submission have done.

  Ignorance, Humanity, Atheism

  Emma Goldman (1913). “Mother Earth, a Monthly Magazine Devoted to the Social Science and Literature”

• Atheism ... in its philosophic aspect refuses allegiance not merely to a definite concept of God, but it refuses all servitude to the God idea, and opposes the theistic principle as such. Gods in their individual function are not half as pernicious as the principle of theism which represents the belief in a supernatural, or even omnipotent, power to rule the earth and man upon it. It is the absolutism of theism, its pernicious influence upon humanity, its paralyzing effect upon thought and action, which Atheism is fighting with all its power.
