Project Gutenberg 2009-10-06 Public domain in the USA. 69 Foote, G. W. (George William) 1850 1915 Foote, George William Arrows of Freethought Produced by David Widger "Arrows of Freethought" by G. W. Foote is a collection of critical essays written in the late 19th century. The work explores themes of religion, skepticism, and the importance of freethinking, presenting a robust critique of established Christian doctrines and societal norms. Through his writing, Foote advocates for rational thought and progress, connecting historical events and figures such as Thomas Paine with the principles of atheism and human rights. The opening portion of the book presents a preface explaining the author's intent to republish a selection of his articles, emphasizing their relevance beyond the time of their original publication. Foote begins with an examination of an address by the Archbishop of York, dissecting the Archbishop’s views on religion and progress. He critiques the idea that moral and intellectual advancements are linked, using the context of contemporary society and historical movements like the French Revolution to argue that real progress often arises from questioning and challenging authoritative beliefs. Foote's sharp prose sets the tone for the collection, where he systematically dismantles religious dogmas and urges readers to embrace freethought.
