Ethan Allen From
Philosopedia
Allen, Ethan [Colonel] (21
January 1738 - 12 February 1789)
A hero of the
American Revolution, Allen in 1784 wrote, “I have generally been denominated a
Deist, the reality of which I have never disputed, being conscious that I am no
Christian, except mere infant baptism makes me one; and as to being a Deist, I
know not, strictly speaking, whether I am one or not.” He found trinitarianism
“destitute of foundation, and tends manifestly to superstition and idolatry.”...
