Ingersoll "is a critical figure in the struggle for true freedom of
conscience in America -- meaning the freedom not to worship any god
as well as to worship God in one's own way . . . Ingersoll did more
than anyone to restore Americans' memory of their country's secular
and rationalist tradition." -- Susan Jacoby in Freethinkers
"In this collection of short excerpts . . . the patron saint of
free thought celebrates human reason and decries the influence of
blind faith. Opponents of the Kansas Board of Education, federal
funding for church social programs and faith-based restrictions on
medical research will find here the inspiration to keep
fighting." — Washington Post"Ingersoll's ideas force a reader
to reexamine the words freedom, liberty, truth and democracy. This
little paperback has the pleasant feeling of a morning spent
listening to a lecture or sermon on a small-town green." — Los
Angeles Times
