Logan Mitchell

Little is firmly documented about his early life, but reliable sources agree that he was a British freethinker and writer active in the early 1800s. He is best known for The Christian Mythology Unveiled, a work that argues Christian belief drew heavily from earlier myth and symbolism.

His ideas are now associated with the Christ myth tradition, and later editions of his work also appeared under the title Religion in the Heavens; Or, Mythology Unveiled in a Series of Lectures. Contemporary accounts noted both the force of his writing and the controversy around publishing it.

The surviving record is sparse, and even basic biographical details are limited, but his book continued to circulate after his death and preserved his place in 19th-century freethought history.
