Is David Hume a Christian

Answer 1

David Hume was not a Christian, although he was born and baptised into that faith. Much of David hume's work was dedicated to the philosophical absolvement of creation philosophies and "intelligent designer" ideals. One argument for the reason that people believe Hume to have been a Christian is that he wrote from a decidedly neutralistic point of view. Hume did not write in such a stlye, though, because of Christian ideals. Instead, Hume chose a style that would allow his ideas to be obliquely viewed without a great possibility of being persecuted for Atheism - a considerable crime in his day that was occassionally punished with death.

Answer 2

David Hume was not religious, he was a nihilist and skeptic. He ruduced the whole world into bundles of ideas and sensations, nothing else was real to him. Mind and matter were both unprovable to him. He wrote two books attacking religion.
