21 Voltaire, A Plea For Tolerance & Reason WRITE & PARAPHRASE (underline unfamiliar words, too) Of all religions, the Christian ought doubtless to inspire the most tolerance, although hitherto the Christians have been the most intolerant Is each citizen to be permitted to believe and to think that which his reason rightly or wrongly dictates?

22 Ok, So What s Deism?? 1. God created world, but, religion must be moral, rationalistic, & natural; denies interference of the Creator w/ the laws of the universe. 2.
