Freethinkers For Liberty

What We Are

Freethinkers for Liberty is an organization of individuals who strive to form opinions based on rational inquiry, reason, science, and skepticism, as opposed to tradition, dogma, authority, faith, and superstition. We believe that rational analysis leads to the conclusion that a basic, necessary condition for achieving peace, justice, prosperity, and human happiness is political liberty. Thus we advocate a severely limited government such as that outlined in the U.S. Constitution, which protects individual rights, personal responsibility, private property, free markets, and equality of opportunity. We can be described as socially tolerant and fiscally responsible, as best exemplified by today’s libertarians, although we are not a political organization nor affiliated with any political party.

Our Mission and Goals

Our mission is to promote reversal of the tendency of freethinkers to embrace leftist or statist ideologies and policies in favor of more freedom-centered approaches. We hope to achieve this through development and dissemination of ideas and material based on logical and empirical analysis, open to rational inquiry and debate. Thus, we believe that the validity of libertarian approaches to social policy will emerge in the world of freethinking and skepticism through the process of discussion, challenge, and debate, analogous to the development of valid scientific knowledge.

Our initial goals are as follows:

• Identify freethinkers in agreement with our mission for the purpose of fraternization, further development and refinement of our ideas, and strategizing to achieve our mission.
• Facilitate research, discussions, blogs, debates, and other forums for development and dissemination of libertarian ideas within the freethinker community.

Our long-term goal is to have local chapters across the USA consisting of members who are united in these goals.
