Jeremy Bentham

    Jeremy Bentham was a pioneering philosopher and social reformer, best known as the architect of utilitarianism.

Bentham's rigorous critiques extended to religious institutions and practices, where he explored the influence of natural religion on human well-being and advocated for freethought.
