> After reading Baron D’Holback’s ‘Christianity unmasked’ in 1767 Voltaire wrote in the margins of his own copy that the “morality of Jesus was not perverse” and reproached Holbach “exaggerating the evils of Christianity.” In Voltaire theists profession of faith (1768), he extolled Christ as a moral icon: “We never talk about Jesus, whom we call the Christ with derision, with contempt,” He insisted. “On the contrary we regard him as a man distinguished among men for his zeal, virtue, for his love of brotherly equality.”

Was there any French philosopher more influential than this cutie?
