In this deeply personal reflection, I explore the inner workings of my soul, revealing insights that emerged not from a rigorous study of theological doctrines or gospel texts, but from a profound moment of clarity.

"What I Believe" was used prominently in the 1940 New York court proceedings in which Russell was judicially declared "unfit" to teach philosophy at City College of New York. "Why I Am Not a Christian" concludes that churches throughout history have retarded progress and states that we should instead "look to our own efforts here below to make this world a fit place to live in." Finally, "A Free Man's Worship", perhaps the most famous single essay written by Russell, considers whether humans operate from free will.
