Profession of Faith of a Savoyard Vicar

The idea that humans have an innate religious sense is fascinating, but I wonder what personal or historical influences led Rousseau to emphasize this aspect.

Rousseau’s emphasis on natural morality over institutional religion really challenged my assumptions. I’m curious how others connected with these ideas.

His perspective on innate goodness versus societal influence feels relevant today, but I wonder whether the implications hold up in contemporary contexts.
