Really just a long (very long) essay onthe philosophical proofs of religion, mostly the lack thereof. As a committed agnostic, I really failed to see the point until the very end when he summed up by saying that you can't prove anything about religion but it seems like a good thing if it makes people be nice to others and strive for better in themselves. That seemed a valid, although to me irrelevant, point.

John Stuart Mill, Classical economist, was born in 1806. His father was the Ricardian economist, James Mill. John Stuart Mill's writings on economics and philosophy were prodigious. His "Principles of Political Economy, With Some of Their Applications to Social Philosophy," published in 1848, was the leading economics textbook of the show more English-speaking world during the second half of the 19th century. Some of Mill's other works include "Considerations on Representative Government," "Auguste Comte and Positivism," "The Subjection of Women," and "Three Essays on Religion." John Mill died in 1873.
