'''Ernest Renan''' (1823-1892), in full '''Joseph-Ernest Renan''', was a French philosopher, historian, and scholar of religion. 

Leftists like some of his criticisms of religion, but dislike his views on, for example, [[race]]. [[Wikipedia]] strangely claims that he was a prominent [[civic fascist]] in several articles, despite also describing him as a [[racist]].
