Explanation:

Voltaire holds the belief in the free religion and commence. Voltaire, in keeping with other enlightened thinkers of the era, was a deity - not by faith, according to him, but by logic. He was in favor of religious tolerance, even though he was seriously serious about Christianity, Judaism and Islam.

As a vegetarian and an advocate for animal rights, however, Voltaire praised Hinduism, stating that Hindus were peaceful and innocent people, unable to hurt others or defend themselves.
