I haven’t found anything that describes what may deemed hatred toward the Church. I have, however, been left with the view that Alexander Pope was able to channel his feelings toward the church into a scholarly approach as is seen in Essay on Man. He, using his own experiences, was able to encourage others to examine things further and to question them in an effort to formulate their own answers. He wasn’t just telling them to question the Church. In all four of the epistles, Pope acknowledges the influence of the church in some way. Again, I don’t think there was any hatred. I simply think he wanted the world to acknowledge their own influence on THEIR destinies.
