Christianity Unveiled
Being an Examination of the Principles and Effects of the Christian Religion
by Paul Henri Thiry Holbach, baron d'
Translated by W. M. Johnson
"Christianity Unveiled" by Baron d'Holbach is an anti-Christian book probably published in 1766. Written under a pseudonym to avoid persecution, this provocative work attacks Christianity's contradictions and criticizes the moral and political influence of its clergy in harsh terms. Unlike earlier Enlightenment critiques, Holbach openly presents his text as anti-Christian propaganda rather than proposing alternative beliefs. The book sparked immediate controversy, drawing speculation about its true authorship while French authorities swiftly confiscated copies after publication.
