Bradlaugh's infamous treatment by the bigots had revolutionised my ideas of Freethought policy.
When we, in such connections, speak of scientific men, we do not mean men of science as such, but those only who avow or manifest their hostility to religion. There is an assumption of superiority, and often a manifestation of contempt. Those who call their logic or their conjectures into question, are stigmatized as narrow-minded, bigots, old women, Bible worshippers, etc.

"Well, you have made others dance, daddy, and the little slut has got you, and is making a fool of you. Heaven is just!" "Just?" said the Baron. "I hafe not sent for you to preach to me " "Pooh, my boy! A little moralizing breaks no bones. It is the salt of life to the like of us, as vice is to your bigots. Come, have you been generous? You have paid her debts?" "Ja," said the Baron lamentably.
"Liberty has risen from the dead, and we too will be free!" Yes, mad and sinful; therefore are we as we are. Yet God has forgiven us perhaps so have those men whose forgiveness is alone worth having.

Thus passed several days; the defence of the city abandoned to its naked walls and mighty gates.
There was another class of Christians who provoked the controversial genius of Augustine, and these were the Donatists. These men were not heretics, but bigots.
