""A Discourse of Free Thinking"" is a book written by Anthony Collins in 1713. The book was written in response to the rise and growth of a group called Free Thinkers. The author argues that free thinking is necessary for intellectual progress and that the suppression of free thinking is harmful to society. The book also discusses the role of reason and evidence in forming beliefs and argues against blind faith and superstition. Collins also explores the relationship between religion and morality, arguing that morality can exist independent of religion.
