3 Stauffer's interpretation of a commonwealth “of any religion at all” (268) takes Hobbes's words out of context. In that passage (L, 31: 192), Hobbes is only arguing that a commonwealth of several religions is like a commonwealth with no religion at all. He is not envisioning a commonwealth without religion.
