Robert B. Louden
This chapter seeks to challenge the myth of the antireligious Enlightenment by presenting an account of Enlightenment religiosity, an account anchored by three core ideas shared by a wide number of Enlightenment intellectuals from different countries. These include the unity thesis, morality thesis, and toleration.
Keywords: Enlightenment intellectuals, religiosity, unity thesis, morality thesis, toleration
