Jean Meslier - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jean Meslier (15 June 1664 [ 1 ] – 17 June 1729) was a French Catholic priest who was discovered, upon his death, to have written a book-length philosophical essay promoting atheism . Described by the author as his "testament" to his parishioners, the text denounces all religion . Jean Meslier was born in Mazerny in the Ardennes . He began learning Latin from a neighborhood priest in 1678 and eventually joined the seminary ; he later claimed, in the Author's Preface to his Testament , this was done to please his parents.

One public disagreement with a local nobleman aside, Meslier was to all appearances generally unremarkable, and he performed his office without complaint or problem for 40 years.Does God Exist?

More intelligent people are significantly more likely to exhibit social values and religious and political preferences that are novel to the human species in evolutionary history. Specifically, liberalism and atheism, and for men (but not women), preference for sexual exclusivity correlate with higher intelligence, a new study finds. The study, published in the March 2010 issue of the peer-reviewed scientific journal Social Psychology Quarterly , advances a new theory to explain why people form particular preferences and values. The theory suggests that more intelligent people are more likely than less intelligent people to adopt evolutionarily novel preferences and values, but intelligence does not correlate with preferences and values that are old enough to have been shaped by evolution over millions of years."
