Excerpt from A Biographical Dictionary of Freethinkers of All Ages and Nations John stuart MILL in his Autobiography declares with truth that the world would be astonished if it knew how great a proportion of its brightest ornaments, of those most distinguished even in popular estimation for wisdom and virtue are complete sceptics in religion. Many of these, as Mill points out, refrain from various motives from speaking out. The work I have undertaken will, I trust, do something to Show Low many of the world's worthiest men and women have been Freethinkers.

Excerpt from Freethinkers of the Nineteenth Century The vision had passed; but the awakening remained, and the question recurred. Who were the spiritual teachers and masters from whom the generation, now grown to maturity, had learned its love of freedom '2 Might it not be worth while for men and women of middle age to set down some record of the liberators they had listened to in youth, before a new world arose, tempted to forget its debt to the Old? Any selection must necessarily seem arbitrary. It can but be coloured by individual experience. But there are at least certain broad aspects of freedom which must be represented. Free thought means one thing to the theologian, another to the poet and critic. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Biographies of Ancient and Modern Celebrated Freethinkers: Reprinted From an English Work, Entitled "Half-Hours With the Freethinkers" At the age of fifteen he was sent to Oxford. Five years of assiduous study made him proficient as a tutor. This, combined with his amiability and profound views of society, gained him the respect of the Earl of Devon shire, and he was appointed tutor to the Earl's son, Lord Cavendish. From 1610 to 1628, he remained in the society of this nobleman in the capacity of secretary. In the interval of this time he traveled in France, Germany, and Italy, cultivating, in each capital the society of the leading statesmen and philosophers. Lord Herbert of Cherbury, the first great English Deist, and Ben Johnson, the Dramatist, were each his boon companions.

The story of the “conflict thesis” between science and religion—the notion of perennial conflict or warfare between the two—is part of our modern self-understanding. As the story goes, John William Draper (1811–1882) and Andrew Dickson White (1832–1918) constructed dramatic narratives in the nineteenth century that cast religion as the relentless enemy of scientific progress. And yet, despite its resilience in popular culture, historians today have largely debunked the conflict thesis. Unravelling its origins, James Ungureanu argues that Draper and White actually hoped their narratives would preserve religious belief. For them, science was ultimately a scapegoat for a much larger and more important argument dating back to the Protestant Reformation, where one theological tradition was pitted against another—a more progressive, liberal, and diffusive Christianity against a more traditional, conservative, and orthodox Christianity. By the mid-nineteenth century, narratives of conflict between “science and religion” were largely deployed between contending theological schools of thought. However, these narratives were later appropriated by secularists, freethinkers, and atheists as weapons against all religion. By revisiting its origins, development, and popularization, Ungureanu ultimately reveals that the “conflict thesis” was just one of the many unintended consequences of the Protestant Reformation.
