Agnostic American orator Robert G. Ingersoll wrote "The Works of Robert G. Ingersoll, Vol. 9," which is a collection of his speeches and writings on a range of subjects, including politics, science, literature, and religion. Ingersoll promotes agnosticism and displays his doubt about religion throughout the whole book. He contends that religion is founded on blind faith rather than reason or proof, which has resulted in a number of issues in the world. Ingersoll supports the notion of a secular society and thinks that social decisions should be made based on reason and science rather than on religious convictions. Ingersoll discusses modern social and political topics such women's rights, the function of government, and the death sentence in addition to his criticisms of religion. He favors freedom of speech and thinking and supports personal freedom as long as it doesn't hurt other people. Eloquence, levity, and reason are all characteristics of Ingersoll's writing, and his speeches and papers were well-regarded in his day and are still well-read by readers and academics today.
