 Charles Blount   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
Blount's intellectual and personal intimacy with the life and works of men such as Herbert of Cherbury, Benedict Spinoza and Thomas Hobbes was crucial in the development of his public indictment of corrupt religion.
Importantly, Blount's texts were not prescriptive and didactic but simply welded a collection of sources and opinions together for the reader to consider and ponder, thus emphasizing the role of individual reason at the expense of the authority of the Church in deciding the authenticity of such matters.
Blount was not merely an important publicist for what became identified as a deistical position denying the authenticity of divine revelation and refusing to privilege the truth of Christianity over the religious alternatives of Islam, Judaism or ethnic beliefs.
