β¦ Synopsis
This book is the lifeβs work and legacy of a priest who blew the whistle on Christianity; he begins with: βMy dear friends, all the worldβs religions are only human inventions, and there is nothing but error, abuse, vanity, illusion, deceit, lies, and imposture in all that is said, and all that is practiced in the world in worshipping the Gods.β
In a remote corner of France, Jean Meslier (1664-1729) did his job as a village priest by day, and spent his evenings composing a complete refutation of the Bible, an attack on the political and economic system of the day, and an exposition of philosophical materialism.
Meslier was a key figure in the development and spread of Enlightenment thought, and he was championed, even as his message was softened and curtailed, by Voltaire.
This eBook is part 1 of a 4-part series.

"Know, then, my friends, that everything that is recited and practiced in the world for the cult and adoration of gods is nothing but errors, abuses, illusions, and impostures. All the laws and orders that are issued in the name and authority of God or the gods are really only human inventions...."
