I have often asked myself, “Why am I a Republican?—Why am I the partizan of equitable Democracy, organized and established as a good and strong Government?—Why have I a real love of the People—a love always serious, and sometimes even tender?—What has the People done for me?

Leach "Atheism Among the People" by Alphonse de Lamartine, was written after the Revolution in 1848 in France which created the Second Republic and before the coup of Louis-Napoleon Bonaparte in 1851 which ended it. It describes the ebb and flow of Atheistic sentiment among the French people from the middle of the eighteenth century, through the first French Revolution, the Restoration, the 1830 revolution and the revolution of 1848.Its author was one of the founders of the Second Republic. He argues that Atheism is harmful to republics, because atheists feel duty only to themselves, and not to the republic. He considers this almost self-evident -- "must I demonstrate to you so simple a truth?" - and concludes: "therefore, Atheism in the People is the most invincible obstacle to the establishment and consolidation of ... the Republic."(Why atheists wouldn't be as interested in freedom as theists, he does not say. Nor does he say why atheists, who reject God as being illogical, wouldn't see the logical necessity of supporting a republic which guards their freedom.)But he isn't just against Atheism: he is also anti-clerical, and anti-establishment -- for the separation of church and state -- because of the excesses of churches backed by State power, and because he believes that more religious freedom will lead to more belief in God, which is necessary for the republic to survive. This stance qualifies him as a "liberal" of the period.In support of this argument, he offers the following historical sketch:* The first French Revolution, initially good, was corrupted by atheistic philosophy (which was responsible for the Terror), and was just getting back on track when stopped by the rise of Napoleon.* Napoleon cynically only created and used a State religion to increase his own power and hence further drove people to Atheism. This remained true under the Restoration, only with more religious sincerity on the part of the rulers.* The 1830 revolution ended the state religion, and religion among the people waxed -- even though it also brought laissez-faire, and made "gold the true and only God" for many.* The Revolution of 1848 was initially driven by religious People, which is why it did not devolve into terror. Then the atheistic free-traders and materialists started moving in to co-opt it.This is the state of affairs at the time the author writes. He wants the republic to succeed, and therefore he pens this warning against Atheism.This is a short book - 71 print pages, 373 Kindle locations. It may be a little hard to follow if one isn't familiar with French history of the period. Its argumentation is a little weak, treating many things as not needing much proof. Because of those and an effusive prose style, it only rates 3 stars.
