The Natural History of Atheism, written by John Stuart Blackie and published in 1878, is a comprehensive exploration of atheism and its historical origins. Blackie, a Scottish scholar and professor of Greek at the University of Edinburgh, examines the philosophical, social, and cultural factors that have contributed to the rise of atheism throughout history.
