Baron de Montesquieu believed that human kind had the capacity for both good and evil. He did not view humans as inherently good or bad, but believed that external factors such as laws and institutions played a significant role in shaping their behavior.
Montesquieu admired England's John Locke -- the famous liberal and empiricist of a preceding generation. And he was influenced by Newton's physics and believed in a god that had made the laws that governed the physical world. But humanity, he believed had a free will and God did not direct human affairs. A god who directed people as if they were puppets, he believed, would not have produced human intelligence. Montesquieu believed that where government was more liberal and where people thought independently, society would be less devoted to religious ritual and more devoted to morality. Pope Benedict XIV respected Montesquieu, but various bishops did not, and they placed on the Church's index of forbidden books Montesquieu's The Spirit of Laws, published in 1748. But independence of thought prevailed and the book was a success, going into 22 editions.
