David Hume's Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion

What is natural religion? Well as defined by Merriam-Webster, natural religion is “a religion validated on the basis of human reason and experience apart from miraculous or supernatural revelation.” In David Hume's “ Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion”, he creates three characters that have different point of views on natural religion and if the belief in religion can be supported by reason. Cleanthes is set in the viewpoint of Hume, an empiricist, who believes that God is like the human mind and argues with the use of analogies. He believes that our universe is a well oiled machine which means it was created with the intelligence of a human and therefore means the world was created from an almighty power that is similar to a human.
