<jats:sec><jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>In this work we will try to demonstrate the presence and the role that God has in Thomas Hobbes's political philosophy. We consider that this religious belief, that it is the system's equilibrium, guaranties that the Hobbesian political project does not fall into revolutionary or totalitarian excesses. Thus, we shall analyse the arguments of the existence of God that are introduced by the philosopher Malmesbury with the objective of proving that reason does not necessarily lead to atheism, but that such faculty requires the Revelation intervention to be able to channel it into a peaceful and lasting life.</jats:p> </jats:sec>
