Thomas Hobbes didn’t have a stable religion that he followed but from the information that he took in during his younger years, it could’ve affected him in his political views. Hobbes wrote a book defending the powers of a king and the people that they control, showing how he believed in that ultimate power.
John Locke also did not have a defined religion but he tended to side with the protesters of parliament who were against the Roman Catholic King James II. This ended up influencing Locke to publish his Two Treatises of Government.
