Superstition In All Ages

Superstition in All Ages is a book written by Jean Meslier, a French Catholic priest who lived in the 17th and 18th centuries. The book is a comprehensive analysis of superstition and its impact on society throughout history. Meslier explores the origins of superstition and how it has been perpetuated through religion, politics, and culture. He examines various forms of superstition, including belief in witchcraft, divination, and the supernatural, and argues that these beliefs have been used to control and manipulate people throughout history. Meslier also critiques the role of organized religion in perpetuating superstition and argues for a more rational and scientific approach to understanding the world. The book is considered a classic work of Enlightenment thought and has been influential in the development of modern secularism and skepticism.A Roman Catholic Priest who After a Pastoral Service of Thirty Years at Etrepigny and but in Champagne, France, wholly Abjured Religious Dogmas, and left as His Last Will and Testament to His Parishioners, and to the world, to be Published after his Death, the Following Pages, Entitled, Common Sense.
