He promoted religious tolerance. He wrote an essay called “A Treatise on Tolerance”. He thought deism was the best choice of a religion, but felt that everyone had a right to their own beliefs. He wrote, “I may not agree with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.” http://www.wsu.edu:8080/~wldciv/world_ci… Here is an essay on Voltaire: http://www.gettingtomaybe.
