"I Don't Know, Do You?" by Marilla M. Ricker is a philosophical treatise written in the early 20th century. The work delves into the critique of religious doctrines and practices, exploring themes of agnosticism, freethought, and the questioning of traditional beliefs. Through her writing, Ricker addresses the limitations imposed by organized religion and advocates for individual reason and inquiry. The opening of the work features a foreword dedicated to Ralph Washburn Chainey, commendating his contributions to the cause of freethought. Ricker presents her perspective on religion, highlighting her skepticism towards creeds and dogmas. She reflects on historical events and societal changes, arguing that as knowledge and intellectual advancement grow, the rigid structures of religious beliefs may become obsolete. Ricker's tone conveys both a sense of urgency and a call for liberation from outdated beliefs, setting the stage for a broader discussion on the implications of faith and reason throughout the text.
