In these 21 short essays, George William Foote shoots "Arrows of Freethought" in which he lays down his views on atheism, secularism, and freethought. He talks about religion and progress, explains the gospel of freethought and how literature deals with freethought. He gives a defence of Thomas Paine and explains the views of his contemporaries on atheism. Foote is known as the founder of "The Freethinker", a secular humanist magazine that started in 1881 and still exists today. (Summary by Ava) (4 hr 22 min)

insightful & well read


(3.5 stars)

enjoyed the book very much; full of insight. each reader was clear and easy to understand, although, it could be a bit jarring when the readers change - quietly listening to one voice then a complete different voice starts a new chapter.
