The Christian religion and morality extols the glory of the Hereafter, and therefore remains indifferent to the horrors of the earth. Indeed, the idea of self-denial and of all that makes for pain and sorrow is its test of human worth, its passport to the entry into heaven.

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

Mankind has been punished long and heavily for having created its gods; nothing but pain and persecution have been man's lot since gods began.

Emma Goldman (1915). “Mother Earth, a Monthly Magazine Devoted to the Social Science and Literature”

The philosophy of Atheism has its root in the earth, in this life; its aim is the emancipation of the human race from all God-heads, be they Judaic, Christian, Mohammedan, Buddhistic, Brahmanistic, or what not. Mankind has been punished long and heavily for having created its gods, nothing but pain and persecution, have been man's lot since gods began. There is but one way out of this blunder. Man must break his fetters which have chained him to the gates of heaven and hell, so that he can begin to fashion out of his reawakened and illumined consciousness a new world upon the earth.
