Jean Meslier

Jean Meslier (French: [melje]; also Mellier; 15 June 1664 – 17 June 1729) was a French Catholic priest (abbé) who was discovered, upon his death, to have written a book-length philosophical essay promoting atheism and materialism.

Described by the author as his "testament" to his parishioners, the text criticizes and denounces all religions.
