For David Hume, if religion had any role to play, it would be to corrupt human nature and disturb social harmony instead of contributing to morality itself. In Hume’s interpretation, religious beliefs lead to the degradation of human conduct, recognizing that they generate two pernicious effects: Superstition and Enthusiasm. Our problematization is: why, for Hume, is its corruptions a necessary consequence of religion, for morality, even when it preaches so many virtues? To answer this problem, we will use the essay On Superstition and Enthusiasm and the work Treatise of Human Nature.
