Finished reading. Great coverage of freethought from late 18th to early 20th century.
Interesting to see some cyclical history. Hoffman describes an antiscriptural emphasis to the Paine era & social reform emphasis in the Robert Owen era, which prefigures a similar difference in 20th/21st century freethought between skeptical debunking and social justice emphases.
“To declare oneself a follower of Jesus is not only to insult history and reason but to apologize for the murderers of Arius, Molinos and Cranmer, the persecutors of science, the upholders of slavery and the suppressors of all free thought and speech.”

Bharath UpendraThe Politics of the Sacred
Every tradition draws a line between good and evil, divine and demonic. On one side is god who blesses, protects, and is source of morals. The Devil occupies the other side, who is corrupt, who temps, and leads to ruin. We assume that this line is real and absolute. There's no line. It's often drawn by the victors. Look at what both figures actually are without their titles. God orders the slaughter of entire peoples like the Canaanites and the firstborn of Egypt. He withholds rain, sends […]https://ridiculousbharath.wordpress.com/2026/04/23/the-politics-of-the-sacred/
Reading David C. Hoffman's American Freethought (2025) and saw the National Liberal League's 1880 presidential platform, including this plank:
"Universal education the basis of universal suffrage in this secular republic."

NO INHERITANCEA #Satanist does not tolerate authoritarian control. They stay grounded, set firm limits, & refuse to be coerced. Challenge ideas with reason where useful, but avoid pointless conflict. Protect autonomy, align with those who value freedom, & act with discipline. Strength is not submission, but clear, controlled resistance.
