  • جوزيف لويس (بالإنجليزية: Joseph L. Lewis)‏ (11 يونيو 1889 - 4 نوفمبر 1968) مفكر حر أمريكي وناشط ملحد وناشر ومقيم للدعاوى القضائية. خلال منتصف القرن العشرين، كان أحد أبرز الملحدين المجاهرين في أمريكا إلى جانب إيمانويل هالدمان جوليوس. ولد في مونتغومري، ألاباما لأسرة يهودية، واضطره العوز إلى ترك المدرسة في سن التاسعة للعثور على عمل. قرأ بنهم، وأصبح متعلّمًا ذاتيًا. طوّر لويس أفكاره بقراءة روبرت غرين إنغرسول -من بين آخرين- الذي ساهمت أعماله المنشورة باطلاعه على توماس بين. أُعجب في البداية بفكرة أن يصبح ملحدًا بعد أن قرأ كمًّا هائلًا من محاضرات إنغرسول المكرسة لمَثله الأعلى بين، والتي جلبها أخوه الأكبر إلى منزلهم. نسب لاحقًا الفضل إلى كتاب عصر المنطق لبين في مساعدته على ترك الإيمان.
