About this title

Synopsis

This speech is a historic piece of American literature that challenges traditional religious beliefs and advocates for free thought. In it, Kneeland defends himself against charges of blasphemy and argues that all individuals have the right to form their own opinions about the divine. Though controversial at the time, Kneeland's ideas would go on to influence the development of secularism in the United States.
