August 11 is the birthday of Robert Green Ingersoll, orator and one of the most famous freethinkers in US history.
He was a fanatic supporter of science over religion, abolition of slavery and women’s rights.
“Superstition is, always has been, and forever will be, the foe of progress, the enemy of education and the assassin of freedom.”
(Robert Green Ingersoll)
