MASON PHILOSOPHERS
As we stated above, the founders of anti-religionist philosophical sys-
tems are actually part of a methodical war being fought against religion.
This is why we discover that most of the philosophers who have founded
these systems are part of the organisation of freemasonry, which stands at
the centre of the war against religion.
In this context, the philosophers who draw immediate attention are
the French intellectuals who were the forerunners of the French
Revolution. These people not only criticised religious authorities but also
fomented violent antagonism against religion. Among them are Diderot,
the author of The System of Nature, referred to as the "Bible of Materialism";
Voltaire, who was also an impassioned materialist and opponent of reli-
gion; the radical materialist Montesquieu; Jean-Jacques Rousseau, who
constructed a new "religion" of his own; and the "Encyclopaedists", all of
whom were ardent anti-religionists. The organ of Turkish masons, the mag-
azine Mimar Sinan, says of these individuals:
The 1789 French Revolution was prepared by Mason ideologists. The
Declaration of Human Rights that embraces the principles of liberty,
equality. and fraternity was written with the inspiration and guidance of
our masters such as Montesquieu, Voltaire, Rousseau, and Diderot. 22
The Mason Magazine, also published by Turkish masons notes:
The pioneers who overthrew the feudal system in France and started the
Great Revolution were Montesquieu, Voltaire, J. J. Rousseau, the leading
materialist Diderot, and the Encyclopaedists who clustered around him.
They were all masons. 23
The materialistic and anti-religionist ideas that increasingly developed
in the years that followed the French Revolution reached their peak in the
19th century. When we look at the leaders of this movement, we again
come across freemasonry.
In addition, it is also worth noting that there were many Jews among
these figures. This demonstrates that Jews who, in alliance with masons,
strive to enfeeble Divine religions such as Christianity and Islam and hold
the materialist world view, serve the same purpose on philosophical
grounds.
