False. Thomas Hobbes believed that mankind's natural state was one of conflict and competition, where life was "solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short." He argued that without a strong government to maintain order, people would constantly be at war with one another.
FALSE It was Thomas Paine
There is no absolute answer to this question. What is a true christian today? What was a true christian in Hobbes' lifetime. Is there a such thing as a true christian? Who says so, and are they an authority on the subject? Is it appropriate to judge Hobbes by today's standards or should the standards of his day be used? Too many questions, none with answers that are rooted in fact.
false - this is the correct answer

One statement that is not true about John Locke and Thomas Hobbes is that they both believed that individuals had an innate right to rebel against unjust governments. In reality, while Locke argued that individuals had the right to rebel against governments that violated their natural rights, Hobbes did not advocate for rebellion and believed in a strong, centralized authority to prevent chaos and uphold social order.
"Thomas Hobbes believed that people are inherently good and can be trusted, while John Locke believed in the concept of the social contract and the idea of natural rights." This statement is incorrect because it switches the beliefs of Hobbes and Locke. Hobbes actually believed in the inherent selfishness and competitiveness of human nature, while Locke emphasized the importance of natural rights and the consent of the governed in a social contract.
