This lecture discusses key ideas from the 18th century philosopher and essayist David Hume's essay The Natural History Of Religion.
It focuses specifically on sections 6-8, where he discusses the development of monotheism (which he calls "theism") out of polytheism, attempting to provide a naturalist perspective on the matters.
