Beware the "Freethought Trail"!
Quietly fading in the national memory is a disturbing history of secular "thought". The Council for Secular Humanism, working daily to remind us of our nation's embarrassing mistakes, has taken a first step toward connecting those Satanic points of light, today unveiling its “Freethought Trail”. This project calls to attention dozens of sites in western New York State significant to Freethought and Secularism, many of which are open to the public. Robert Ingersoll, Mark Twain, suffragette Matilda Joslyn Gage, and many more prominent God-mockers and atheists are featured.
The website, www.freethought-trail.org, is now live. It provides not merely a listing of sites, but directions from place to place, photographs, and the depraved history of each.
If you live in New York State or the surrounding area, you can learn many horrifying things about your local heritage. Things your parents would prefer you forget!
If you want to avoid these sites of religious debauchery and God-mockery, the site will show you where not to go. Or, complete a virtual tour online, so you know what Hell on Earth looks like!

The Freethought Trail is a collection of locations in West-Central New York important to the history of freethought. Sites can be browsed by location, by name, by cause, and by type of site. Each site is described in words and in photographs, and directions are provided from one Freethought Trail location to another, so anyone who wants to can make their own path along the multitude of sites on the Trail!
In the 19th century, West-Central New York was a hotbed of social, political, and religious innovation. Fayetteville suffragist Matilda Joslyn Gage called religion the enemy of women. Writing from Elmira, Mark Twain raised irreverence to an American art form. At Ithaca, Andrew Dickson White co-founded Cornell University, the nation’s first secular institution of higher learning. In 1848 reformers and freethinkers of every stripe thronged Seneca Falls to demand new roles for women. Corning native Margaret Sanger led the 20th century birth control movement. The birthplace museum of the famous orator, political speechmaker, and outspoken agnostic Robert G. Ingersoll is an anchor of West-Central New York’s “Freethought Trail”.
This site is a great resource for Landover Baptist University students, as well. Imagine the reports on the decline of America's Christian Heritage which could be generated from this project! Be sure to share it with your faithful teens and college students.In the 19th century, West-Central New York was a hotbed of social, political, and religious innovation.
