This article examines the writings of the utilitarian philosopher Jeremy Bentham on the topic of religion. It gives a chronological presentation of the manuscripts and published works, which reveal Bentham’s continuous interest in religious matters, especially over two periods: the 1770s–1780s and the 1810s–1820s. Because it draws on the anti-religious thought of the French Enlightenment (especially Voltaire, d’Holbach, and Helvétius), it is clearly distinct from the ideas of contemporary British Unitarians. Attacking the mysteries of revealed religion and subordinating the religious sphere to the political are two pillars of Benthamite utilitarianism.
