Historic Humanist Series

During his lifetime, Robert Ingersoll was America's premier orator and a pioneer humanist. Without the benefit of microphones nor public address systems he lectured to standing room only audiences night after night. Known as the Great Agnostic he criss-crossed the nation, urging people to substitute the superiority of science for the superstition of religion.

Ingersoll's insights advanced the cause of freethought, breaking the monopoly of authoritarian orthodoxy. His commanding appearance and magnificent speaking voice fearlessly supported the rights of women, children and minorities.

The complete works of Ingersoll are preserved in twelve volumes, most of which are available on the Internet at the Secular Web maintained by the self-named Internet Infidels.
