The Gospel According to Richard Carlile, showing the True Parentage, Birth, and Life of Our Allegorical Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.

Notes

The author contends that Jesus never existed and that Christianity, therefore, is predicated on a fable. "The Jews were never a moral and respectable people, never exhibited, as a people, those virtues which have been exhibited by the people of the various states of Greece and Rome; and the different empires in Asia before the Christian era, have held no distinction among mankind but in their vices. They have uniformly been, as far as we have records or observations of them, a viciously religious people, or a religiously vicious people" (pp. 12-13, from chap. 4, "State of Judea in the First Century").
