"Any church that imprisons a man because he has used an argument against its creed, will simply convince the world that it cannot answer the argument." -- Robert G. Ingersoll
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_G._Ingersoll#Lawyer
Ingersoll was involved with several major trials as an attorney [..] He also defended a New Jersey man charged with blasphemy. Although he did not win the acquittal, his vigorous defense is considered to have discredited blasphemy laws and few other prosecutions followed.

My creed is this: Happiness is the only good. The place to be happy is here. The time to be happy is now. The way to be happy is to make others so.

“Love is the only bow on Life’s dark cloud. It is the morning and the evening star. It shines upon the babe, and sheds its radiance on the quiet tomb. It is the mother of art, inspirer of poet, patriot and philosopher. It is the air and light of every heart — builder of every home, kindler of every fire on every hearth. It was the first to dream of immortality. It fills the world with melody — for music is the voice of love. Love is the magician, the enchanter, that changes worthless things to Joy, and makes royal kings and queens of common clay. It is the perfume of that wondrous flower, the heart, and without that sacred passion, that divine swoon, we are less than beasts; but with it, earth is heaven, and we are gods.”
—Robert G. Ingersoll, sounding suspiciously like a deeply religious person in “Orthodoxy: A Lecture” (1884) • Ingersoll was a 19th century American lawyer and writer who came to be known as “The Great Agnostic” because of his tireless defense of the right to remain skeptical of all religions.

🇺🇲 In 1892 Robert Hawley and Charles Henry Ingersoll laid the foundation for The Ingersoll Watch Company. Born out of a humble mail order business in New York City in 1882, the company initially dealt in low-cost items like rubber stamps. However, their journey was destined for greater horizons.
⏱️ In 1896, Ingersoll revolutionized the watch industry by introducing the first-ever dollar watch – the "Yankee." Priced at a mere $1, it became an instant sensation, marking a significant milestone as the most affordable timepiece of its time. By 1899, an astonishing 8,000 watches were churned out daily, fueling the brand's exponential growth.
📊 Вy 1910, Ingersoll had become a household name, with over 10,000 dealers worldwide carrying their iconic timepieces. The dollar watch became synonymous with accessibility, democratizing timekeeping for people from all walks of life.
💰 Ingersoll's commitment to affordability and quality resonated with millions, with nearly 40 million dollar watches sold within two decades. Their impact was so profound that even president Theodore Roosevelt, during his African expedition, was recognized as "the man from the country where Ingersoll was produced."
💯 Ingersoll's legacy transcended mere timepieces; it became a cultural phenomenon. Their famous tagline, "The watch that made the dollar famous!" echoed across generations, cementing their place in horological history.

"All religions are inconsistent with mental freedom. Shakespeare is my bible, Burns my hymn-book." -- Robert G. Ingersoll
You cannot have mental freedom when you're concerned about invisible, magical creatures that watch you, influence you and judge you. Any and every religion comes with mental baggage and obligations.
