Free Thoughts on Religion, The Church and National Happiness is a book written by Bernard Mandeville. In this book, Mandeville presents his ideas on religion, the church, and the role they play in the happiness of a nation. He argues that religion and the church are not necessary for a society to be happy and that they can even be detrimental to the well-being of a nation. Mandeville also challenges traditional religious beliefs and practices, advocating for a more rational and secular approach to morality and ethics. The book is a thought-provoking critique of religion and its place in society, and it continues to be a relevant and influential work in the field of philosophy and theology.1729. Contents: on religion; of outward signs of devotion; of rites and ceremonies in divine worship; of mysteries; of free-will and predestination; of the church; of the politics of the church; of schism; of toleration and persecution; of the reciprocal behavior between the clergy and laity; of government; and of national happiness.
