Natural Religion?

David Hume (1711-1776) published posthumously Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion 1779. Svante Nordin writes in his book, Filosofins Historia 2003, that this natural religion would be proven with natural reason. Today I would argue that we can reason that faith is natural in the sense that we as humans are engineered to recognize faith. At least about 75% of us.

It is also possible to say that Nature, not something supernatural, is related to God. Nordin also claims that Hume said that one possibility for creation was that "materia could self-organize". That is impressive since we today believe evolution did just that. Proteins fold etc. However, I don't think we have explained completely how for example the embryonic tissue is successively forming.

I'm wondering if Hume had a faith similar to mine? He spoke about "the true religion" and since he did not mean the conventional one he might have been. Self-organization would mean creation in a materialistic world. According to Nordin he was not a conventional atheist.

He tried but did not get a position at a university but managed anyhow. The reason for this would have been that he "denied God's existence" and "was an enemy to all morals". The latter accusation stemmed from his discovery that reason was not the source of human morals. Not completely true today but important at the time since not so bright people also could be moral.
