The first french atheist

If we go back to the beginning we shall find that ignorance and fear created the gods; that fancy, enthusiasm, or deceit adorned or disfigured them; that weakness worships them; that credulity preserves them, and that custom, respect and tyranny support them in order to make the blindness of men serve their own interests.
Paul-Henri Thiry, baron d’Holbach (1723-1789)

The first french atheist writer… A man whom history has chosen to ignore by not even marking his grave. His house doesn’t even have a plaque. His remains have even been mislaid.
