John Milton, who wrote paradise lost, was secretly a heretic. He was antitrinitarian and an Arian Christian. Of course John Milton kept it a secret in his own lifetime as Arianism was seen among one of the worst heresies even in 17th century Protestant England and he would have been punished and ostracised if he publicly wrote about it. However, John Milton did secretly write about it his Arian beliefs in a theological treatise, which he kept hidden and wasn’t discovered until 1823. Some have doubted its authenticity because it goes against Paradise lost and Paradise regained which expressed Trinitarian beliefs, but after nearly a century of interdisciplinary research, it is generally accepted that the manuscript belongs to Milton.

NEWTON KNEW THAT THERE WAS ONLY ONENESS IN GOD AND THAT THE TRINITY IS A LIE

HE CAME TO THESE CONCLUSIONS AFTER DEEP STUDY OF THE BIBLE AND HE SAID THAT THE QURAN IS THE TRUTH

neo arian you mean. reconstructed individually and originally, intentionally. arianism had its time period a really long time before.

you can lump him in with newton and the other proto-fedoras to whom religion was an intellectual game and who had a lot of special snowflake individual insights and innovations. you cannot lump him in with the arians though, who lived in the 300s

Dryden is a nobody in comparison, fucking jingling couplets were one of the worst things to happen to English literature.
