He said that the Hindus were peaceful and innocent people that would never hurt any one or defend themselves with weapons. He favored on religious  tolerance  but hated the idea of Christianity, Judaism and  Islam.

To this day in America we do not have a state church and this idea was shared by Voltaire. He also influenced the U.S Government by starting the foundation for the first amendment in our Constitution.  His book Candide is still debated upon about weather he wrote it to justify his ideas on a pessimistic society or to encourage people to improve their society. That book is found in many collages and is required for English majors.   ]]> 2020-09-14 16:25:42 UTC https://padlet.com/whitehk/kds3vnxxubcbi9ic/wish/744744156 whitehk https://padlet.com/whitehk/kds3vnxxubcbi9ic/wish/744862838 Voltaire was exiled to Tulle in 1716 for making fun off the Duc D'Orleans.  He returned to Paris only to be arrested in 1717 for writing false writing and was sentenced to the Bastille.  He was sent to the Bastille again in 1726 for disagreeing with Chavalair De Rohan.  He was in there for a small time until he was exiled to England where he stayed for three years.
