'Arrows of Freethought' Summary
It is a collection of essays by George William Foote, a British secularist and journalist. The book was first published in 1882 and contains essays on a variety of topics related to freethought, including the history of Christianity, the Bible, and the nature of God.
Foote was a passionate advocate for freethought, and his essays in "Arrows of Freethought" are full of wit, humor, and incisive arguments. He attacks the hypocrisy and absurdity of religion, and he calls for people to think for themselves and to reject the superstitions of the past.
"Arrows of Freethought" is a classic work of freethought literature, and it is still relevant today. It is a powerful and persuasive argument for the importance of freethinking, and it is sure to challenge and stimulate the minds of young readers.

People should think for themselves and not blindly follow religious dogma.
Foote's arguments are based on reason, logic, and evidence. He does not rely on emotion or personal attacks. He simply presents the facts and lets the reader decide for themselves.
