Logan Mitchell (freethinker)

Logan Mitchell (1802– November 1841) was a British freethinker and writer. Mitchell is best known for his book The Christian Mythology Unveiled.

Mitchell committed suicide in November 1841. He left £500 (equivalent to $57,429 in 2023), for any book publisher who will have "the moral courage" to publish his book. A review of the book in the Sunday Dispatch, which he previously had published for circulation amongst his friends, said "the work is admirably written, and in every respect it is valuable, It evinces learning, acuteness, strong reasoning powers, with excellent feelings, and in all its parts, it shows the author to have been a man of taste, with an elegant and highly-cultivated mind." It was printed several times under different titles, most notably by the Freethought Publishing Company in 1881. Mitchell was an advocate of the Christ myth theory. His views have been compared to Robert Taylor's.
