Charles-Louis de Secondat, Baron de La Brède et de Montesquieu
(January 18, 1689 in Bordeaux – February 10, 1755), more commonly
known as Montesquieu, was a French social commentator and political thinker
who lived during the Enlightenment. He is famous for his articulation
of the theory of separation of powers, taken for granted in modern discussions
of government and implemented in many constitutions throughout the world.
He was largely responsible for the popularization of the terms feudalism
and Byzantine Empire. (more)

It is partly due to the brilliance of Montesquieu that the United States
of America has descended into serious civil bloodshed only one time in
over 200 years.

evangelist for atheism

Onfray believes that we are partway through a transition to a "post-Christian"
society, a transition that began with the Enlightenment. Thinkers such
as Voltaire, Montesquieu, Rousseau and Kant all helped elevate human reason
above authority and superstition. But none went far enough.

Quote: Montesquieu on Religious Wars
by Austine Cline
Religion, through warfare and various other sorts of conflict, has
been at the root of a great deal of human suffering and misery. The question
is not so much whether religion has played a role in all of this but,
rather, how and why - because it's clear that religion isn't always involved
in warfare or conflict and it's also clear that non-religious beliefs
have done their part to cause human suffering as well.
One might readily imagine that conflict between religions is generated
by differences between religions - the more differences and the more religions
there are, the more conflict we will see. To a point, this is surely true.
The laws of statistics would seem to require that there will be more disagreement
as the reasons for disagreement multiply. Disagreement, however, is not
the same as conflict and warfare. Disagreement does not need to lead to
human suffering - individuals are all very different and have their disagreements,
but they aren't all at war with one another.
