The Gods and Other Lectures (Washington, DC: C. P. Farrell, 1879) Robert Green Ingersoll (1833-99), an icon of American freethought, was an attorney, abolitionist, Republican politician, and orator who served in the Illinois Volunteer Cavalry during the Civil War. Ingersoll defended the absolute separation of church and state, and freedom in matters of conscience. In this passage, Ingersoll argues for the importance of individuality to civilization.
