David Hume was agnostic about religion
David Hume, a Scottish philosopher who wrote in the English language and who is perhaps the most influential philosopher ever, is renowned for his skeptical metaphysics and empirical epistemology. Many assume that Hume is an atheist or, at most, an agnostic when it comes to the existence of God because of his combination of skepticism and empiricism.
David Hume wrote extensively about religion and is said to have had an agnostic viewpoint on it, according to historians. He has drawn fire for being a Pyrrhonian skeptic from historians and contemporary authors. His writings provide evidence that some historians believe him to be an atheist and anti-Christian. At one point, Hume was meant to face accusations of infidelity from the Scottish Church.
His essay "Such of Superstition and Enthusiasm" suggests that he may have had negative views about the Catholic Church. Paul Russell, a contemporary philosopher, claims that although Hume was suspicious of religion, he wasn't an atheist.
