Free thinkers examine religion through reason rather than faith, tradition, or authority. Questioning religious teachings that shock the mind of a child is seen as integral to being a true free thinker. The speaker argues that religion has been more harmful than good in ethics, history, culture, and current times. They suggest that good people will do good things, and bad people will do bad things, but for good people to do bad things, religion is often involved. The statement challenges the belief held by some religious individuals that one cannot be good without God, highlighting the inherent contradictions and implications of such a belief.
